    The home was beautiful, everything top quality. Definitely would stay again. Our hosts were so kind (the most delicious fresh bread and adult drinks for when we arrived) and helpful (sharing local beaches).
    We rented this property for 6 adults to attend a wedding in the village. It is stocked with everything you would need. They have utilized the space so well. So clean, well kept and comfortable. We will be back!
    Really enjoyed our stay here
    This little place has everything you need. It’s a 1/2 mile walk to the village. It is a hike back up the mountain on the way back, but my kids enjoyed it. Loved the large family room.
    Gorgeous build with high end finishes on everything. Owners pay attention to small details that add to a positive experience. A nice touch was having coffee and cocktail fixing already waiting for us! Kitchen was well stocked. Beds were quite comfortable. Gas fireplace was very enjoyable. Owners live next door and were very responsive. We had friends in the unit above the garage which was also equally as nice. The Mountaineer Shuttle service to ski was easy and made getting to the mountain a breeze without having to move the car.

    Amazing cabin perfectly located just outside town for that unique “in the mountain” feeling.
    Description accurate. 10 minute drive to town. In August temperature never exceeded 70F. Wonderful!
    Beautiful and private home with all the amenities you need to relax in Breck. Front porch is inviting with a great view. Best place for a morning cup of coffee or to catch up on your novel. You will not be disappointed.
    We enjoyed the cabin and the beautiful mountain view. The owner provided everything we needed for a comfortable stay and was accessible both by email and telephone. We would definitely rent the property again if available.
    Everything you need to have a wonderful ski vacation at Breckenridge (and surrounding areas)

    This house is simply amazing. From the location to the amenities, everything was absolutely perfect. The communication with Jay was easy and throughout the entire process, he was always quick to respond and provide input and help. There was so much room for our group of 8 adults and plenty of room in the kitchen for the chefs and the clean up crew. The pantry was fully stocked and every kitchen utensil you could imagine was available. We loved the outdoor spaces and the upstairs game area was a huge hit! Someone is a fabulous interior designer because you can wander around for half a day admiring all the wonderful things in the house. The house is in a quiet neighbor, but just a quick drive to everything in Breckinridge. We loved our time at the house and would highly recommend staying at The Highlands. I promise you will not be disappointed!!
    This is the best home we have ever rented in Breckenridge! Home is fully stocked with everything you could possibly need. The location is 5 minutes to downtown. Communication was quick and easy. And the views… to die for. We will stay here again.
    The house is even more amazing in person.
    House is incredible. Has everything you can think of. Views of ski runs and 5 minutes from town. Exceeded everyone’s expectations. Communication with Jay was great!
    This home is just wonderful – exceeded our expectations.Everything was perfect and our family had the best time – beautifully decorated, every detail perfect – close to town, hot tub was a huge hit, chefs kitchen, well stocked.Don’t miss out on this one!

    This property needs some serious upgrading! There is no central air conditioning, or mini split systems. The TV is Horrible basically Netflix only, no local channels. And the windows and interior all needs replacing. We found out later that the owner lived on site in a lower unit, thou he was pleasant. The parking is very limited.
    We had a relaxing and restful stay. We loved the scenery and the home.
    This was a wonderful, spacious, and comfortable house! It was central to all of the things that we wanted to see and do. The location next to the park was ideal and we even saw a deer right in the backyard! It was rather hot on one of the days and the owner was nice enough to drop off an extra fan. We would love to return here on our next visit to Colorado Springs!
    This place was amazing and perfect for a big family of 6. We came to a beautiful clean house with clean sheets and towels. They had hand soap, shampoo, conditioner, toilet paper, dish soap, and paper towels. It had everything you needed and more. The best first place I had been on Vrbo. Comfortable too. The only downside was it got hot but there are fans. But I would definitely stay again. Beautiful area in the back for eating outside with great view of the park mountains. Quiet area to stay and great park access for walking. Love this place.
    We rented the home to house all our family for a celebration of my son’s college graduation. The size and location were perfect for the celebration.

    Overall this home was just as pictured. Very warm and inviting, beautiful views and very well stocked. Communication with the hosts was excellent
    No complaints. I hope to stay again.
    We loved our stay here and hope to return. We were a family of 4 (2 adult children) and there was plenty of room for us! The riverfront has amazing and relaxing views and sounds. Not to mention the herd of elk that came through on our last day to enjoy the grass and river as well. The location to the coffee shop, rock shop and trading post up the trail was wonderful and you can even walk on in to town if you want. Restaurants and groceries are close and the entrance to RMNP is just up the road! Be sure to get online and make a reservation and get a park pass if you want to enter the park!! Perfect getaway that was much needed!
    Property was beautiful and clean. Communication with property managers excellent. We had a great time and would love to stay again
    We had a wonderful stay at this property. It is a beautiful home, matched with a beautiful location. It is a quick drive from a cute town and from Rocky Mountain National Park. The property manager is wonderful to work with. We highly recommend this property and hope to return some day!

    Very nice
    Perfect place for us. Very roomy and well laid out property. The best outfitted property I’ve ever stayed in from the kitchen utensils, etc to the bedrooms. Well above the usual property I’ve experienced. The only issue was a neighbor complaining that we had more than 4 cars in the driveway (against rules). Truth be told, I did have 5 cars in the driveway for a little more than two hours as we had a local hairdresser/make up girl come and do hair, etc for my future daughter in law , etc. on the wedding day. That is not anything on the property or management however.
    The property at Elk Corner truly lived up to it’s name! Upon our arrival, we had at least 15 cow elk, young elk, and a bull grazing in and around our property. It was quite the sight to see with the sunsetting in the background.The home itself was set up with lots of great places to gather both inside and outside. Every detail was considered. Additionally, we had one need during our stay that was quickly resolved by property management. Thank you for creating such an inviting retreat!We hope to stay again, some time in the future.
    My family – 6 adults and two kiddos – stayed at Elk Corner for a wedding in Estes Part and we all loved the home. The floor plan is perfect for large groups because there are lots of areas -upstairs, downstairs, inside and outside – to hang out. We loved coffee in the mornings downstairs by the fire pit and watching the stars by the upstairs fireplace in the evenings. Everything worked perfectly and the views off the back patio are amazing. The property manager was great about staying in touch and making sure everything worked for us. We will be back!!!
    This property is incredible, if anything the pictures undersell it. House was very clean and the property owner and management company were easy to deal with. We would stay there again without hesitation.

    Great Location
    This was a wonderful property. Great location, hot tub, and kitchen. The property is managed very well. No complaints, everything was wonderful. Plenty of towels, trash bags, paper towels, dishwasher soap, and laundry detergent. I wish the upstairs bathrooms had some more hooks to hang wet towels, very minor thing. Great stay, we would stay here again.
    Very convenient location only a block away from Main street in Frisco. We enjoyed our stay for a trout fishing trip very much, including the hot tub!
    This was a great location with walking distance to downtown Frisco. The deck was pretty dirty when we got there, so we had to sweep it. The grill was a mess as well. Couldn’t be in the hot tub after 10 pm….bummer. No AC, got pretty warm at night even with windows open. All and all we had a great time. Had everything we needed in bathrooms and kitchen.
    Rating Details:The property manager was very helpful.The vacation rental was spotless.I was very happy with the location.I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental.Overall, I recommend this vacation rental.Reviewer Comments:Excellent location. No maintenance issues. Easy to access.

    The location is fantastic. The condo is very large, but like most rented condos is dated. Parking was a bit of an issue since there is no guaranteed space to park. However, we did always find a spot. The private indoor hot tub was a treat.
    The condo was beautiful and had everything we needed. The communication with the owner was seamless; he was very responsive and gave us a lot of information about the area and condo in advance. The view of the mountain from the unit was breathtaking and the private hot tub after a long day of skiing was well appreciated. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend to others coming to Big Sky.
    No but`s. Well organized and maintained . Location location and location
    We loved this condo! Lots of space, amazing views and indoor hot tub a definite bonus. Equipped with everything we needed. We would definitely rent again!
    Great location. Only minutes way from Beehive hiking trial, lifts, dining, and beach. Construction of the deck was happening while I was present but good communication made if mostly hassle free. No air conditioning and we visited during heat wave but cooled off nicely at night.

    This place lived up to the hype! The views were amazing and we absolutely loved being there. The host was more than accommodating and we hope to stay again in the future!
    My wife and I celebrated our 50th anniversary with our family in Moonlight Basin. We couldn’t have chose a better home and setting. Everyone enjoyed themselves and can’t wait to return. We thank Colleen Jones for sharing her beautiful home. We enjoyed visiting Yellowstone, Bozeman, Livingston, and hiking trails throughout the area. Got in a round of golf and the kids went kayaking in a West Yellowstone lake.
    The house was almost as beautiful as the famous Big Sky of Montana. You could not ask for a better view of the mountains and the ski slopes. The house was perfect for our family of five adults and two teens. Our granddaughters had a blast sledding just outside the house. We could sit in the living room and watch them from the huge picture window. Great ski in and ski out location. The owner could not have been nicer or more helpful. Would definitely rent again and again and again. Highly recommend this home for a winter or summer visit.
    We had a phenomenal time staying in this home. Communication with the owner was wonderful, and the check-in process was seamless. Highly recommend staying here!
    Everything was exactly as expected! Wonderful location super easy ski in/out. Hope to be back soon! Colleen and Jolene are great hosts and make the process very easy!

    This property was stunning. When we arrived the views were even better in person. We did come a week with a lot of storms and that was actually even beautiful to see the lightning in the mountains.
    Can not say enough about the veiw! Relaxing peaceful time. Close to hiking, white water rafting, kayaking. About 30 min to smokey mountain national park. The cabin is stocked with everything you need. Great place to relax!!Joe
    The home is as listed, we had no complaints. While we enjoyed getting away for a weekend we just didn’t love the house or the location. FYI if it’s cloudy and raining the internet is very spotty and slow as we believe it’s provided via Direct TV. The house is clean but lacking in charm, it feels like a rental. Not that this is a bad thing just not what we were hoping for. But still a 5 star get-away based upon the house accommodations. BTW the house manager delivered salt to our front door when I mentioned there was none to be found in the house and I never think to bring salt! This was very kind of him.
    Beautiful place! Definitely recommend!great views. Super clean.
    My wife and I spent 6 nights at this beautiful home. The views of the mountains are amazing. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was very well stocked, and everything was just simply comfortable. One of the best mountain homes we’ve rented. The fireplace, large deck, and hot tub made for a very nice relaxing vacation. About a 15-20 minute drive to downtown Bryson City. If it’s snowing, you’ll probably need a 4WD.

    We rented this cabin as the third stop on a week across the mountains, and it was a perfect end to a great week. The home itself is both tastefully decorated and very comfortable. We chose it because the style appealed to us, but we also picked this rental because of the amazing view. It didn’t disappoint. We needed to adjust our plans a little bit because of the weather, but we enjoyed quality family time playing games and talking with the backdrop of the Appalachian Mountains through the windows. Communication with the host was easy and quick. If you’re looking for a place with a scenic view within easy driving distance of Boone, Blowing Rock, and Banner Elk, this is a great choice.
    We really enjoyed our time at Pie in the Sky! They did an amazing job modernizing the house, keeping it super clean, and made sure to include everything we needed. The sunrise can’t be beat and the back deck is perfect for star gazing at night. While the neighboring houses were quite close the neighborhood was very quite and just perfect for our short trip to seven devils!
    It’s a breathtaking view from on top of Seven Devils! The vintage roundhouse has been updated with a modern flair and is cozy and comfortable. We had a problem with the door code (it was not what we were told it would be). But the hosts let us in remotely and quickly squared up the issue. The location was perfect for us to go between events and activities in Banner Elk, Boone, and Valle Crucis.
    Recently stayed here for Labor Day weekend with my husband and our two teenage sons while visiting our daughter at App State (and attending the football game). House was really one of our favorites we’ve stayed over the past two years! It was well organized and perfect for the four of us! Even my husband enjoyed the quirky layout of a roundhouse! Communication was efficient and we had no issues during our stay. The location was easy to find as well! The views were absolutely breathtaking…especially when the sun is just peeking out in the morning. We will definitely stay here again in the future!!! Thank you!!!
    The home was very cozy and comfortable. Close to all the summer time activities.

    Really nice spacious place with lots of features that go beautifully with the Lake Naomi/ Poconos setting. After some exploring we discovered it was a great location as well to enjoy the amenities the Lake Naomi community has to offer in the way of indoor/ outdoor pools, lakes, trails, etc. The owner was the perfect combination of availability to address any issues balanced with allowing for space for us to enjoy our stay.
    This was our home for a last minute summer getaway for a week and we were so impressed. Everything has been thought of! It was immaculately clean and tastefully decorated. Fans in every room to keep cool at night. All the cooking tools you need, awesome fire pit set up, spacious, open first floor with cozy and comfortable seating for all. If you spring for the temporary membership you can utilize all of community amenities which is SO worth it. We kayaked, paddled, swam in the pool and the lake and played tennis at the beautiful tennis club. When the weather was bad we went to the indoor pool, the kids loved it. The host was super attentive and responsive. We would definitely rent again!
    We loved our stay! The house was lovely, clean, and well-stocked. The house is walking distance to both the marina/beach and Deer Trail Lake and beach. It’s a short drive to other Lake Naomi amenities.I would definitely recommend this property for a family looking for a getaway in the Poconos.
    The home was beautiful, clean, and had all the amenities we required as a family of five. We hiked, fished and had game night on one of the days that rained. All in all it was a great stay at this location. Thank you.
    The home was beautiful. Meticulously clean and stocked with everything you need. The location was convenient to many ski resorts and water parks. The game room was a big hit. Perfect for families and friends.

    Very responsive to our questions and needs. Great property.
    We had a wonderful stay
    This home is a great one-level property, spacious and filled with lots of natural light. The home was clean and the owners were very responsive (and quick!). There were also kids toys and a tennis table in the game room which was a nice plus for our kids. We used the community pool and gym and found both to be great. Our kids loved the kiddie pool too (a great option for little ones as it’s only about a foot deep). It’s also quite closer to Great Wolf Lodge and the outlets etc. I even lost my earring and asked the owner if they could keep an eye out for it. I was pleasantly surprised when they not only found it but sent it back to me (it had much sentimental value!).
    Beautiful house and great location! Perfect for our family vacation. The amount of space was great for us (6 adults, 2 kids). House is very clean and very well equipped.

    This is a wonderful house that has two separate living and kitchen areas, four bedrooms, a bunk room, a screened porch, and an additional deck with a hot tub. This is perfect for 2-4 families to share looking to do day hikes, whitewater rafting, or other activities in any of the nearby towns. The property is located at the end of a steep one lane mountain drive and sits just above the top of Ripley’s Mountain Coaster. There are two houses on adjacent properties that weren’t occupied during our stay so it was very peaceful. It is approximately a .75 mile walk to/from downtown Gatlinburg, but about 200 ft higher in elevation. Our group of younger guys made the trek each night for dinner and lots of drinks without too many issues, but the last .25 mile could be problematic for some people due to the steepness or anyone afraid of the dark or bears (no lights and a bear was spotted the first night). We would definitely go back!
    Great location and large enough for big families. We had a great time at Monsters on the Mountain!Super close to everything and saw a big bear the 1st night. Cool place that’s very convenient to everything. Would stay there again.
    This was my first time in Gatlinburg and I could not have picked a better place to stay! I love that it was close to everything and you can use trolley service to go to many places. The cabin was beautiful and well stocked. The sleeping arrangements are great and the layout works well for large family. I will definitely be back and I recommend to anyone with a large group with multiple age groups.
    First thing is that you have to drive on a one way road to get to cabin. It was not really a problem though. The cabin was awesome! Loved the outside porch area with rocking chairs. Kids loved the games and pool table and air hockey and foosball table. Amazed at the personal concierge when you walked in. Not really too far from pigeon forge either! One thing that stood out about our trip, we saw a bear! We were packing up and left back van door open, came to put more items in and the bear was in the back! It heard us and jumped out and ran to side of another house but still in sight. Not a big bear but middle sized. Enough room for 12 of us! Thank you again for letting us enjoy your cabin!

    Our family group of 11 (siblings families plus a grandparent) stayed here for a week 8/6-8/13/22 and we had the BEST time. We are no strangers to the smoky mountains but finding the right place to stay can always be a challenge. Having King beds in every room PLUS the pull out couches was perfect for our families. The large windows provided stellar views of the mountains. The 2 decks and lots of seating was so great! The hot tub was used daily and well maintained. The kitchen had everything we needed. We had a little snafu where the wifi was out – NO fault of the owners- and he went OUT OF HIS WAY to address it, find a temporary fix for our college student family member to connect to submit assignments until the techs could come repair it midway through our stay. We saw a bear on our last day as we were packing the cars! He came right up to the hot tub! Glenn was incredibly communicative with immediate responses and made everything flawless. Right on down to the detailed directions for finding the cabin. A prior guest had left coupons that we were able to use at local attractions so we did the same for the next guest in the drawer of the buffet hutch. We were so thankful to find them and get free entry into Beyond the lens! We were so close to pigeon forge and just a short drive to everything we wanted to do! We are active planners and squeeze in lots of things to do but wouldve been perfectly content having tons of fun together if we just stayed at the cabin enjoying the accomodations, games, and views. It was also VERY quiet up on that mountain. We would not hesitate to stay here again and hope we can one day! Only con was low water pressure in the one upstairs shower but we made do and shared some of the lower level showers when needed. At times it was a little worse than others. Glenn did warn me of an unexpected water issue that may have contributed to this based on something beyond his control but we truly didn’t even find it to be much of an inconvenience and it wouldn’t stray us – and shouldn’t stray you from staying here! Thank you so much, Glenn!
    We chose Selah View because we felt like it could accommodate our entire family. 4 couples and 3 kids 5 and under. Everyone had room to spread out, enjoy privacy with their own bathrooms in their rooms and also plenty of places to visit, play games and relax. Our favorite was morning coffee on the deck over looking the mountains. The property manager was very quick to respond to any questions we had (which weren’t many). We would recommend Selah View and stay again!
    This property is Absolutely spectacular. Pictures don’t do it justice. There is plenty of room for large groups. The mountain views from the porch are breathtaking. The house is very well-maintained, clean and decorated beautifully. . The kitchen has everything you need to cook, the bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious and clean The living room is open with beautiful windows overlooking the mountains .Glenn was a great host and willing to help in any way. I would recommend this house to my friends or family. It is beautiful
    Beautiful, secluded property high up in the mountains with an awesome view. Plenty of room for 3 couples and 6 kids. Everyone had their own space. The cabin was immaculate and stocked with all the needed amenities. Owner, Glen stopped by to make sure all was well, which was a nice touch. Couldn’t imagine a better home base for our Smoky Mountain adventure!
    16 family members (8 adults and 8 children) from Tampa, Kansas City, and Chicago met at this cabin for four nights for a family vacation. This was an absolutely perfect spot for all of us to create memories for a few days together. The bedroom and sleeping accommodations were excellent for our crew. The beds were so comfortable and we appreciated that each bedroom had its own full bathroom. The cousins really enjoyed the game room downstairs and having a large kitchen for all of us to eat in together was perfect. We also appreciated the view, the chairs on the deck, the hot tub, and the nice big grill. We hope to return in a couple of years!

    Location, location, location! We loved our stay. Condo is clean and updated. Very comfortable.
    Listing was accurate, VRBO booking process was seamless, host went above and beyond, condo had all the essentials plus some. The location worked great for us to mountain bike and trail run right out the front door plus our 2 kids loved all of the activities at the base (alpine slide, mountain coaster, etc.)We absolutely plan to stay here again and would highly recommend this property!
    This unit is conveniently located at the lifts, but it’s still an excellent location for summer trips. It has two levels — ideal for our new grandchild and his parents for early bedtimes and naps while the grandparents stayed up and sipped the wine. All the essentials are there for easy living — dishwasher, laundry, 2 full baths, assigned covered parking, easy access to the grocery/coffee locations, and a lot of sunlight to enjoy the scenery. The building is older and we had to pick our way around hallway and outside construction that wasn’t in the description. The unit has a cathedral ceiling and in the summer it’s hard to keep the second floor cool without frostbite for the first floor occupants. The owners were very accessible and helpful. Overall a good experience at a reasonable price.
    Loved the location, view and high ceilings.
    Condo had everything we needed. Great stay!

    Loved the place and location. Went in late September to have a leadership retreat for my company. Having the bedrooms each with its own bath was great. The living area was perfect for meeting to plan the year as well as relax. The location to the Main Street on Park City was great and allowed us to walk to great restaurants for meals and fun nightlife. Would be a great resource pace to stay for a ski vacation as well. I highly recommend this place and location!
    We had a group of 5 men who have been friends since they were teenagers. We get away once a year and decided on Park City this year. The house accommodated everyone with their own bedroom, was clean and super convenient to main street. We rode ATV’s, fly fished, played golf (all just a short drive away) and spent the last day at the house watching college football. Each night we took a 2 minute walk to eat at a variety of restaurants and bars on Main Street. Probably the best trip we have done. Would highly recommend the Olcha House to anyone visiting Park City.
    Everything went very smooth. Nice location. Plenty of room for our family of 7 ranging in age from 1-66.
    House was perfect location. Quick walk to Main Street and all dining. House was cozy and plenty of space.
    We were here for our daughter’s wedding in Park City. We were here for a week and able to accommodate our family. Great space for having family get togethers and dinners!

    We loved the house. It made for a great family gathering in one of our favorite regions. Most of the home was as advertised. Many conveniences abound within the premises. There were quite a few maintenance issues that were unaddressed which isn’t something you would expect after spending $11,000 on a rental for a week. The Air Conditioning was not functioning for the entire week in mid August. The icemaker by the bar was malfunctional with mold. One of the downstairs bedrooms had a door that stuck and prevented my mother in law from entering and exiting her room until we returned back to the house to open the door. Overall – it was a great trip. The lodging was lacking a bit considering the price. Only a slight ding. If it were not the height of summer heat we likely wouldn’t have noticed, but the internal temps were 78-80 during the day.
    Annual trip but first time at this property. It was as advertised! Clean and everything you need for the stay. Great communication with the property manager. We have done VRBO’s around the country and this was one of the best.
    This property is just as good- if not better than the photos. The team was super responsive and we had plenty of super nice amenities and a great check in basket upon arrival. This rental felt like we were staying in someone’s immaculate home as we had everything we needed and access to all areas of the home. It was super spacious and exactly what we needed. 10/10 will be staying there again!
    What a beautiful spot to stay at for our 20+ mile day hike and girls getaway.The house was magnificent !We will be back …
    This property felt like I was walking into my own home. It was exceptionally staged upon arrival and well appointed, with everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. The property manager is attentive and prompt with communication. The 2nd level master suite bathroom has a steam shower and large tub — wonderful for relaxing after days on the slopes — and the bedroom has a fireplace and balcony, making the suite a place you never want to leave. The lower-level bedrooms each have their own bathrooms, giving everyone plenty of privacy and space. We’ll definitely consider this property for our return visits to Jackson Hole.

    The home, views, and location were outstanding. We had a great time with beautiful weather and even more impressive landscape. Property Management and ownership clearly work well together at this amazing spot
    We had a great time at Teton Abode. The views and the location are spectacular!
    We had a great time! The beautiful house was close to skiing, restaurants, activities/ scenic spots and airport. The house itself was amazing! Hosts were extremely responsive and helpful. We can’t wait to try it out in the summer some day!
    We had an absolutely incredible trip. This was our second time at Teton Manor, and it was just as magical as the first. Your team’s responsiveness really made our stay that much more carefree.
    This was a lovely place – far enough from Jackson to be serene and quiet, but close enough to run in to town (Whole Foods is only 3 miles away) for cooking supplies for dinner. Nice kitchen (good indoor and outdoor spaces – with views) and a pool table as well. It was also very close to the bike/walking trail that goes to town as well as all the way to the Ski ‘village’.
