February 2026

We had a great time staying at Summit House. Key highlights were: everyone had their own bedroom and three full bathrooms were perfect for 7 people. The views were stunning, the hot tub was relaxing and easy to use. The house had all the amenities listed. It was easy to check in and check out. The checkout process was clearly defined. We only had one issue, by no fault of fieldtrip, during our stay. There was a major wind storm during our trip that blew all the patio furniture into the corner of the yard and blew off the gutter. Despite the noise of these things occuring in the middle of the night and the clean up afterwards of the furniture, Fieldtrip was very responsive and supportive of our reports. Despite the storm, we enjoyed our trip and would love to be back again another time. We appreciate the ability to stay at this beautiful location.

Overall the stay was great. Lots of space and a beautiful home and location. Please ensure, if you are coming for the views, you check the weather for the timelines you wish you stay, and historic weather for that time. We stayed when it rained a lot, and almost completely missed the views due to the rain. NOT the hosts fault at all, only Mother Nature. Overall it’s beautiful.
