Of the hundreds of thousands of Airbnb offerings, Trip's house has got to be among the top 100 for it's artistic expression, attention to detail (VERY well-stocked kitchen, cleanliness, stacked wood, supply of paper products, etc.), and extended privacy within a natural setting. Even with the trees December bare, while standing on the deck, the mountain/valley expanse provides only the slightest hint of homes on the other side.
We enjoyed a wonderful family reunion there, where 10 people comfortably slept, and 10 more joined us for the complete gathering. I lost count of how many times I heard someone say that they either could not believe such a spectacular home was available to rent, or that if it was theirs, they would never allow strangers to use it! It was spacious, the beds were ultra comfortable with cozy coverings, and everything was of high quality. The wooden furniture on the front porch was so comfortable, I could have spent hours out there if I had time!
The driveway is definitely steep, and for some, intimidating, but there was ample room for the three cars of the weekend guests (using garages and carport), and the visitor's three cars, with no problem turning around to get out.
Also, the location was excellent for those wishing to go downtown — or even go grocery shopping. The map in the laundry room is another detail that was very helpful for orienting ourselves.
The fire pit on the deck became the hangout spot on two evenings, one of which, had a super moon illuminating the sky (no doubt a special order from Trip).
We absolutely could not have chosen a better place to be to get our very diverse family gathered for a special weekend. Thank you so much Trip for sharing your labor of love with us.
