Tara is a wonderful host. Very accommodating, thoughtful, and kind. She went out of her way to let me drop off my luggage early, and provided a nice bottle of wine. The space itself was clean and comfortable. I would note that the upstairs gets very hot during warm weather, so you need to use the a/c. Also, the downstairs is pretty dark and not bright and white like in the photo listing, which was disappointing. If you are looking for an affordable, basic mountain retreat this will do nicely.
