We booked this house as a getaway for Labor Day weekend. There were some issues with the check-in process at first, but we eventually found out this was because of rolling blackouts in the area caused by the heatwave. We were without power for several hours until the evening, but Emalie and her husband were responsive and truly concerned about getting us into the property and figuring out what the problem was. Emalie was even so kind to offer us a refund for the night for the inconvenience, which we really appreciated.
Once we were in and power came back on, we thoroughly enjoyed our time in the house (AC was a must this weekend!). Everything was very clean, beds were comfortable, appliances were all updated and new, and all the necessities we needed to cook/clean/live were readily stocked. Emalie had left us a thoughtful card, bottle of wine, and some snacks to welcome us to the house. The house also came with a lot of activities (games, karaoke, outdoor gym, BBQ, hot tub) to keep us busy while being secluded on top of the mountain. As a side note to other renters, the drive up to the house from the base of the mountain is on smaller, winding mountain roads and takes about 10-15 minutes, but the view and privacy at the top is worth it! Cell reception is spotty when you start going up, so make sure to start your GPS before you head up. At the property, we were solely reliant on the wifi.
All in all, it's a spectacular house with everything you need for a weekend of social distancing from the rest of the world! Emalie is a great property manager, and we hope to visit again in the future!
