This was our second time staying at this property and we loved it just like last time. We stayed with our two children, but this house would be perfect for two couples to share. Perfect place for rest & relaxation!

We loved the house- 2 couples, so we really enjoyed 2 king beds and 2 full baths. The kitchen was very well equipped, the house was spotless and the pool and hot tub were used daily, despite chilly weather. The neighborhood is nice and quiet and very convenient to just about everything!

Beautiful property with all the amenities. TV remote was hard to use - have to be standing near the fire place to change the channels. Pool/jacuzzi were perfect after a long day of hiking.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We really enjoyed this rental. There was a small supply of essentials: TP, paper towel, coffee filters, dishwasher detergent, laundry soap which was really nice! The house has been renovated recently and was nicely done. We found it very comfortable. The TV/cable situation was more complicated than most.

Nice little house. Needs maintenance. Could use fan on porch ceiling for cooling. Needs paint. Lights in bathroom over sink did not work. Of course airplane noise. But enjoyed our stay. Tv system need’s upgrading. Thank you Gem! See you next year!

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice clean property. Nicely decorated. However, the pool and some of furnishings are showing wear and tear. The pool in particular. If some of these items were addressed it would definitely help. Overall, a nice property.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We really enjoyed our stay in this unit. It comes well equipped and even included a significant amount of spices, oils etc which made cooking awesome as we only needed the actual food and not the little things that add up. The pool was great, the heater worked well and the staff was quick to response with the one question we had. Would definately stay again!

This spot was exactly what we were looking for. A quiet venue with that felt comfortable and like home. We were just a short drive to downtown and all local stores. But with all the comforts the house has to offer we barely wanted to leave the house.
