Feels secluded even with neighbors
The house was big enough for our group of 9. 6 kids ranging from almost 2-17. There is a creek on the property but didnt have any water running through it until it rained for multiple days. It rained for 4 straight days. Only downside was the fridge had drawers that didn't work properly and very hard to open and no shelves in the door. Overall we had a blast and plenty to do in the surrounding areas!!

Great weekend getaway with friends
We booked A Positive Outlook for a weekend getaway with friends. We had a total of 10 people in the house and we all fit comfortably. The location is great and the setup of the house worked well for 2 families. The kitchen was relatively stocked (could’ve used tongs and some other utensils) and the game room was great to play some adult v kids pool. The morning sunrise was beautiful as it came up over the mountains. The only downsides we had (and the reason for 4 stars vs 5) were the heat setting when we arrived and the cleanliness of the place. The heat is set at 55 degrees when the home is not in use which left this place freezing cold for our families when we checked in. It took approximately 5-6 hours for it to warm up, which made the first night a little less fun for everyone as we were still bundled up for the most part. As far as cleanliness, the house was also a bit dusty and seemed like it hadn’t been rented in some time. Also, the comforter in the downstairs bedroom smelled like it hadn’t been washed in a while. Overall, this was a great stay at a beautiful home. A couple of small things and this would have been a 5 star review. We would definitely rent here again in the future as our issues were small and can easily be fixed.

Perfect Location
We enjoyed our stay! Large family including our one year old granddaughter, young adults and teens. More than enough room to spread out. Great location! We had everything we needed and more in this beautiful property. We did see some issues with housekeeping but we made the rental agency aware and are satisfied with their response. We feel sure this will be addressed with the cleaning crew moving forward. We plan to stay again.
