Just What We Needed!
It's very "challenging" to find getaway locations that accommodate wheelchair users, but this one did not disappoint! Notwithstanding the amazing and calming views and the cozy condition of everything inside, the owner made sure that we had everything that we needed for a comfortable stay. My husband easily navigated inside and outside of the unit in his wheelchair, the bed was nice and firm, and the stillness of the environment was priceless! Anyone just looking to steal away for a little R&R should definitely check this place out... you'll be glad you did.

We had such a wonderful stay, the place is so lovely! The views are breathtaking and we loved sitting on the patio gazing at the mountains. The owners were very hospitable and we enjoyed talking with them. We'll miss our daily puppy visits. When we come back to the area, we hope to stay again!

Stunning. Peaceful
Stunning views. Peaceful ambiance. Wonderful hosts. We started our trip completely stressed out from work but even before we arrived, Bill had recommended hiking at Crabtree Falls, which we did otw. Great plan! After arriving at apartment, enjoyed meeting Bill & those sweet dogs. But the views and the apartment!! Pictures don’t do them justice. Also before arriving I had been a little concerned about privacy due to house/apt setup but that was not an issue at all. We went there to enjoy Polyface. What a treat We’d return for sure

Amazing !
We were in the area scouting out the community to see if we potentially wanted to move there. Bill and his wife were so kind and courteous, and gave us so much information and graciously shared their time. The room itself was extraordinary. The efficiency is clean and has everything you need for a short stay. If you’re lucky to be there and see a beautiful sunset, Bill doesn’t even charge extra for that :) . When we need a place to stay again, we will definitely be there.

A Heavenly Weekend
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and upon arrival understood exactly why it’s described as ‘Almost Heaven.’ Bill is a very gracious host who greeted us when we arrived and, being well versed on the area, suggested lots of great places to visit and dine. The accommodations are as listed and makes for a clean, comfortable place to retreat for a weekend getaway. The proverbial icing on the cake is the view of the mountains which is absolutely breathtaking. We will definitely return!

Was Almost Like Heaven
Bill, the owner/manager, greeted us when we arrived and helped carry our luggage inside. We enjoyed talking with him during our stay. Everything was spotless - the bed very comfortable - the refrigerator stocked with some items for our use - inside and outside well maintained. The surrounding farm fields and mountains were lovely at any time of day. Several bird feeders attracted numbers of birds. Our stay was wonderful in every respect.
