Me and my family came to the area for my son’s start at Oneonta. The place was filled with everything from little kids to adults. Amazing views peaceful, over great area with lots of privacy. The kitchen was the best part thoughtfully put together for family’s who cook the host didn’t skimp on anything. We enjoyed our stay and would love to stay here again maybe for a longer period of time next time. Thanks for hosting us.

Wonderful, secluded, quiet mountain home. Great views! Lots of common area space. Fireplace worked well. Be sure to pick up plenty of firewood when you’re shopping for groceries. Only downside was the lack of curtains in the bedrooms. We don’t sleep well with a sleep mask and prefer blackout shades.

Everyone in our group loved the property. Rooms were very comfortable. No A/C was not an issue at all since it’s very cool at night. It’s a perfect place to stargaze and we all enjoyed a handful of shooting stars. Overall we would definitely recommend this property for anyone looking for peace and quiet.
