The view from the deck is what made this the place for us. We happily spent a good amount of our down time there just enjoying the view. With the Lakes Basin area within easy reach, there are also plenty of non-down-time activities to enjoy from this home base. The home is professionally managed, with management on-site in Graeagle Meadows. They are incredibly friendly and communication is great. Questions were answered in almost no time. When we ran out of propane for the grill and messaged them after hours, they brought over a replacement tank that same evening. It felt like if anything went wrong, they would be on top of it--responding promptly and effectively.One thing to note if you are going during the summer is that the place does not have AC. Our trip started with temperatures in the 90's and the upstairs got pretty warm during the day. That being said, even in a heat wave it cools down at night and opening the windows during the night and keeping the ceiling fan going helped to bring things back down.Overall, we had a great stay and can highly recommend this charming vacation rental.
