"We came for the mountain air from Texas, and we got it! Cool mornings, mountain breezes, and a beautiful setting made this exactly the getaway we were hoping for. The space fit our family perfectly, giving everyone their own bit of privacy and plenty of room to relax. Dining on the screened porch was a favorite. The home had everything we needed to create a beautiful table for our meals together. Home’s decor is exquisite. Exploring the towns, pontoon rental on Lake Glenville, and the hike up Whiteside were all within reach. Loved our stay."
