Fantasy Secret Room

Comfortable, spacious, well-appointed house where we relaxed. Loved looking out into the woods. Excitement for all three of us when we found the secret room.

The hostess was very accommodating. Lots of space, very comfortable couches and beds. Didn’t really use the kitchen but it’s a gourmet kitchen from the looks of it… Super nice countertops.

Fantastic place

This was a perfect place to bring our the 16-year-old granddaughters. They loved the secret room, which is very artistically done. The counter/tabletop is impressively beautiful. The beds were very comfortable, and the hostess was very responsive and helpful to our requests for help, such as a forgotten essential and guidance on trails. We were thrilled the first morning to see a black bear wandering through the yard, and thrilled again the last day to see a mother moose and her two young. Six stars.
