Great Time at The Hunter's Lodge
Enjoyed a nice quiet Thanksgiving week at the property. Everything was perfect. Beautiful area, near plenty of National Forests and Parks. We had a great time. The Cabin was very comfortable and nice. Can't wait to come back.

BEAUTIFUL cabin with amazing views!!
The cabin and property grounds were beautiful! We really enjoyed the hot tub, fire pit, and views! It was so peaceful and a nice getaway from city life. The host left a bottle of wine and a bag of coffee, which was very thoughtful. The bedroom on the main is great for those who cannot climb the stairs. The kitchen is well-equipped along with all the basic supplies. We had a great time visiting several of the local waterfalls and trails. We will definitely be back! Loved it!!

Very Disappointed with the Property Manager/Owner
Over all the property is nice and secluded, everything we were hoping for. Here are the issues we had though. First: the house is rather dark, especially the upstairs, this is mainly because several of the bulbs were out in chandeliers that could not be easily reached. Second: the out door fire place did not work at all, the property manager indicated they’d send someone out but didn’t happen. Lastly: if you shower in the upstairs master water will leak through the light fixture in the downstairs bathroom. This did not bother us, I understand this is a home not a hotel. What got me is that they have tried to levy additional charges for leaving “un-bagged garbage” in their bins. We did leave a wine box with empty bottles and a beer box in them and for this they are trying to bill us for an additional $125 dollars. Looking through other comments they have done similar things to others. I would not recommend this place unless you are willing to pay for additional charges after you leave. I have never had issues like this before with VRBO properties, this one however was rather disappointing after the fact.

Fabulous Property
We enjoyed every minute we were at Hunter's Lodge. It is a fantastic property. The view from the porch is amazing. What a perfect place to spend Thanksgiving and with the outdoor area it would be fantastic in the summer. The property is large so you never feel like anyone is nearby. Your kitchen is amazingly equipped. The only thing we felt missing were wine glasses, but that was no big deal. We could definitely tell, based on some of your decor, you must enjoy wine as much as we do. Thank you again for having such a wonderful home and sharing it with us. MHS

Best stay ever!
This was such a wonderful experience in an amazing house with incredible views. The hosts were very accommodating and responsive. The house is nicely decorated and gives you the quintessential mountain experience. My kids didn’t run out of any activities and had a blast playing in the game room and outside. We will absolutely stay here again. Thank you so much for your kindness and hospitality!

Rustic with great views
Beautiful setting, enjoyed our stay. Scenic drive into Highlands, only about 15 mins away. Plenty of parking space, great covered entry access for unloading and loading. Game room was fun with ping pong and foosball. Chess set and tic tac toe were also a hit. Mountain views and sunrises were awesome! Light snow on our drive up made for an exceptional wake up mountain view the next morning. Nice trail to hike right on property. DJ was very responsive and provided answers for all of our questions. Very quiet area and very relaxing. We had AWD with snow mode and had no issues navigating the driveway with light snow and ice. Indoor gas fireplace with switch to start was so easy and used it multiple times. Thanks for a nice long weekend!

Beautiful Cabin
Hunter’s Lodge is exactly as described. DJ was very quick to answer any questions we had. The cabin is secluded, but is still a really short drive into Highlands. I’ve never stayed in a cabin that provides what we had at Hunter’s Lodge; spices, seasonings, condiments, k-cups, creamer, body wash, shampoo, robes, and the list goes on. The kitchen has every pot, pan or utensil you would need. Our family had such a wonderful time I would definitely recommend Hunter’s Lodge and give it a 5 Star, Excellent rating. Thank you DJ!

Wonderful Views and Location
The house is charming. The small things you would like to have are there. The bedding was very nice. We rented in part because there was a king sized bed which turns out to not be the Tempur Pedic bed in the description. ( that bed is in the upstairs Main bedroom and is the Queen) The King was VERY hard and to us unusable. The floors, bathrooms and dishes were all clean. The appliances needed some attention. The Gas grill was in fine shape but I prefer charcoal and the charcoal grill grate had rusted to an unusable state and when we contacted DJ about it she immediately came up with a solution where I replaced it during one of our outings and she would reimburse me for it. Great solution. The Ping Pong table was another "must" for us and we had such fun playing though our son beat us every game. The paddles have run their useful life and should be replaced but still function. Overall a good stay for us and if the service and maintenance teams treated the property more like their own and got rid of cob webs on light fixtures, spread the mulch instead of leaving the bags to breakdown where they were dropped and just spent more time doing what they get paid to do with attention to detail, this property would clearly be worth what is charged to stay here. Note to motorcyclists- The steep drive is easily managed and paved all the way BUT we came in the fall and wet leaves are a significant issue and they completely covered the pavement so I had to sweep the entire steep part each day to ensure I could safely negotiate the turn and sudden rise in the driveway by the gate when coming or going. (a blower or rake would have been handy!) When you settle into one of the many seats on the patio with that wonderful gas fireplace beside you and look out across the valley at the mountains which seem to get closer or move away based on the lighting, it is a remarkable place to relax and enjoy the beauty of the mountains, quiet solitude of the property and enjoy some time away.

Great stay… amazing cabin in a perfect location!
Our stay was fantastic! The cabin is huge and the pictures don’t do it justice. The property is great and it is very quiet and secluded. The only issue we had was a mix up with receiving the welcome email, which contained the access codes to get into the unit. I had trouble reaching the property manager for a couple of days leading up to the trip. Once I was able to reach Debra-Jean she was very nice and helpful. I would definitely recommend this cabin for a wonderful stay in the Highlands area!

Loved this home. Could spend all day on covered porch by the fireplace looking at the Mountain View! View from hot tub makes you feel like you are in an infinity pool! Rooms were all good size and beds comfortable. Note that there are only 3 bedrooms. We assumed loft mentioned was a bunk room but it is part of 3rd bedroom. Communication with host were great and they were quick to respond to any issues. Thanks for sharing your home!

Great Location
The Hunter's Lodge is in a great location with amazing views and privacy. It is close to Highlands, and close to areas for fly fishing and hiking. My only complaints are: internet is spotty at best... and the direct tv went out and we couldn't get it re-established. Oh, and there are A LOT of light switches... I would recommend labeling them! Lastly, the fireplace in the living room was hard to get the pilot light lit... needs some maintenance. The cabin has a great hot tub and fire pit wit great views.
