Fantasy Secret Room

Comfortable, spacious, well-appointed house where we relaxed. Loved looking out into the woods. Excitement for all three of us when we found the secret room.

Fantastic place

This was a perfect place to bring our the 16-year-old granddaughters. They loved the secret room, which is very artistically done. The counter/tabletop is impressively beautiful. The beds were very comfortable, and the hostess was very responsive and helpful to our requests for help, such as a forgotten essential and guidance on trails. We were thrilled the first morning to see a black bear wandering through the yard, and thrilled again the last day to see a mother moose and her two young. Six stars.

The hostess was very accommodating. Lots of space, very comfortable couches and beds. Didn’t really use the kitchen but it’s a gourmet kitchen from the looks of it… Super nice countertops.
