We had a great stay! The hosts were very responsive and helpful throughout our visit. When we realized there was no detergent on the property, they quickly brought some over, which we really appreciated. The views were absolutely beautiful and made our stay even more special. Would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful home with plenty of space and a peaceful atmosphere. Everything was clean, well maintained, and exactly as described. The outdoor areas were perfect for relaxing, and the location made it easy to enjoy nature nearby. We had a great stay and would definitely come back in the fall. The host was very communicative which is very important in this platform. We can’t wait to go back soon!

The home was very nice and just like the photos. It was perfect for us, and close to our family. Having the downstairs space for the noisy kids was a bonus! Most importantly was how quickly Fidum responded to any questions we had. An excellent experience. 10/10.

We couldn't have been happier with our fall weekend trip! It was easy to find and get inside. The spaces were tastefully decorated and we enjoyed the hot tub the most! Fidum was incredibly communicative throughout the trip, which was the cherry on top for us. Definitely go during fall as the views into the valley below are stunning!
