Great house and easy to get to the town. We had a wonderful time. We did have an issue with the pilot light on the fireplace. It kept going out. Very responsive to our call and came right out even on Thanksgiving. Thank you--very impressed. It did continue to go out but we were able to relight it by ourselves. The outside of the kitchen cabinets were quite dirty. I tried to clean them off but I do think it has something to do with the black paint. I had black cabinets awhile back and the same thing happened to mine. I ended up repainting them :)

Easy check in and exactly what we were looking for. Holly reached out on a few separate occasions just to check in and made sure it was known that she was readily available if we needed anything which we did not so that was great! Perfect get away.

We had a wonderful stay, and Holly was an exceptional host! The house is located in the lovely Mirror Lake neighborhood and had every amenity we needed for a relaxing stay. The house itself was very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed having a fire in the fireplace and listening to the peace and quiet. The view is beautiful. Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again.

Holly’s home was a pure delight! We felt comfortable, nestled into the beautiful mountains as if we were simply an extension of the natural world! What a pleasure - this is what Air BnB was made for! Highly recommend!
