Matt was great. He gave us a call the day before to check and see what time we would be getting in to make sure everything was ready at our arrival time. He was very quick to answer questions during our stay and was very professional and polite. You drive right up to the lodge and parking was plentiful, definitely enough for a group The fireplace was going and the house was warm when we walked in. Everything was super clean. Plenty of towels for each bathroom and separate ones for the pool/hot tub. Beds were of varying soft/med/hardness so we each chose one that worked for us. If we would have stayed li her we would have definitely utilized the kitchen and the grill outside. A few suggestions would be to have some bath sheets or beach sized towels for the hot tub/pool. Boyfriend is 6’5 and I’m almost 6foot and the towels were not large enough for us. It was fine but that would be appreciated. We didn’t see a hatchet for the wood, and didn’t know where to split the wood for the outdoor fireplace (note said not to split it on the fireplace but we didn’t see a stump or anything to place it on). Also we didn’t see any kindling, only quarters, but we might have missed it. Last suggesting would be to have an ottoman for the couch in the main living area for when you are watching TV. Other than that it was a great stay and we plan to come back with a big group of friends some time.

Everything was enjoyable for our stay. We could have had more silverware, washcloth and hand towel in the kitchen. Also some beach towels for the hot tub. It would have been nice to have a washer and dryer too.These are just some suggestions, overall it was a wonderful experience.

Overall we were well pleased. suggestions for improvement:1. Control the flies;2. Bedroom with slanted ceiling was difficult to avoid bumping head;3. Kitchen was small and lacked mixer and can opener;4. Keep 2 tables in large room downstairs for larger parties to dine;5. AC units were noisy and lit up room at night6. Better info re General Store - unaware of its presence until last dayAgain, overall experience was positive and exceeded our expectations. Thank you

Loved the wood floors since I have allergies.Kitchen was small, but well equipped,so was the eating area. Needs a new can opener. Mattress in room #3 needs replacement. Our cycling group loved the outdoor patio areas, hot tub, and used all indoor spaces and bathrooms. Rode 50 miles of the Michaelson trail. Also loved strolling down the road to visit the mini horses, and burros.

We stayed here with my entire family for a little hills getaway. We loved the location. Tucked away outside of hill city, in a small development. There were horses running around in the area that the kids could feed and interact with. The bike trail is right on the property also. Huge grassy yard. Hot tub was nice. Pool was also nice. The house is huge. Lots of space for everyone and plenty of sleeping space

Great place!! Had everything we needed. Great location and Matt was great to work with! We had a large group of 18 people. Woke up to horses each morning. Just missing a large indoor common area for everyone but the outdoor space was great with the fire!!!!
