Most amazing experience
Such a beautiful home and location. We were there when it snowed several feet and we were mesmerized by the beauty. The snowplow did an amazing job and came every day. Everything was easy and Len was there for us before the trip when we were worried about the fires and during the trip when we were inundated with snow. He was always available to answer our questions and to help with any needs we had. The area is fairly isolated and when you go somewhere like that it is for that beauty and isolation. But you need to be prepared when you go and understand you are fat away from a gas station and make sure you take food for the trip. No cell towers in area for cell phone service but landline worked. There was tv that worked and internet so not too isolated. The house was roomy and clean and felt safe. We saw a deputy patrolling one day. There are lots of places to hike around with the understanding that some areas are closed until they can be cleaned up, but the community is in tact. Loved the trip and would go again. Highly recommend.
