We had a fantastic stay! Four families stayed together very comfortably — the home was clean, spacious, and beautifully maintained. The common areas were perfect for spending quality time together, and the kitchen made cooking for a big group easy and enjoyable. The location was great, and the host was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. We made some wonderful memories here and would absolutely love to come back. Highly recommend for large families or group trips!

I absolutely loved this place! I just didn't love that we had to wait over an hour to check in...and I asked for a late checkout, that's my only complaint. 10 a.m. is too early of a checkout time, but I DO understand, due to the size of the home. My family and I actually cleaned the home and stripped the linen off the beds, along with bringing down all towels,.cleaned the kitchen too... trying to help. we left the home in great condition. I just wish we had more time. Otherwise, this place is everything, it said it was. and the scenery was absolutely beautiful, very Peaceful.. It was great waking up here on Christmas morning, creating new memories with my family. we will be back, and next time, we're booking for at least 4 days.

We had initially chosen another host and property, but when that turned out to be uninhabitable and that host had no other viable properties for us to choose, we found Yonder had a property available on just two hours notice. The host stayed about an hour after quitting time to make sure we got the reservation process complete so we could get in that same night. The home itself is outstanding, with plenty of space to spread out and have privacy, and with plenty of things to do in the house. The setting is also outstanding, with a long scenic view down the valley looking east, so sunrise and moonrise are spectacular, and sunset shows the march of light up the mountain range crossing the horizon. Recommend the exterior pictures be updated, as there are many tall trees that have grown in the years since that picture was taken. I thought we would have more visibility for astrophotography, but the trees completely blocked that. Still a five-star property.

This home was absolutely better than the pictures! It was perfect for our large family. Everyone felt they could have their own space while the main living areas were comfortable for us to gather. Every corner was cared for in this home. Will return!
