Fantastic Christmas with Family from All Over
PROS: Once you find the home, it's the kind of place you would never leave. If you love to hike (and I do mean hike) then this is your place. Small plane crash hike is a must BUT it is very challenging. Great sitting around either fire pit outside or fireplace inside. Plenty of space for 9 adults/2 kids/3 dogs. The creek outside is spectacular! Full-sized w/d.
CONS: I would have liked more "extras" to be included such as some fire wood, Christmas decor, etc. without it costing more given the total price. Take your garbage into town (there's a drop off) or its $35 per bag that don't fit into cans (there are 2 regular-sized cans). Right after Christmas and cooking for all the family was a challenge to get into 2 cans. Thank goodness we made friends with the garbage man. Town is about 35 mins away (great Ace hardware and grocery store). It would have been nice to have some area information at the home (restaurants, must-sees, etc.) Everything we discovered was from the guest book (hard to preplan) or google.
All and all, you want remote mountainous home - this is it!
