Strawberry Hideaway in the Pines w/ Hot Tub!

Reviews

• Serene setting

  5/5

  This is a wonderful location high up on the hill overlooking the forest and is located very close to the Strawberry-Pine area.

  The kitchen is well stocked for just about any type of cooking, the property owner is very communicative, the whirlpool and fireplace were great additions for a cool November evening.

  There is no heat other than the wood-burning fireplace and the artificial fireplace in the master bedroom. However, there was plenty of heat from both of those sources.

  For those who like to watch birds, this is a great location. Spread some birdseed on the ground, and you will see plenty of beautiful birds.

  At night there was plenty of stargazing, and we witnessed Havelina and Elk roaming through the property. The description of the property is exact to what you will get. I would highly recommend this location.

  4/5

  My husband, our dog, Loretta and I stayed for a few days of relaxation. This is a wonderful house with an amazing deck and very comfy outdoor furniture. The deck is partially covered which is great to sit out and watch the afternoon thunderstorms and the other part is left open so that at night you can sit and watch the amazing stars. The kitchen is fairly well appointed but we honestly didn’t do any real cooking as there are lots of good restaurants in the area. The rest of the home is comfortable. It’s been remodelled recently as there are still plaster marks on many of the walls but there’s new flooring and new bathrooms one of which is in a hallway with a door to the outside which is kind of weird but since it was just us two humans it didn’t make any difference.

  The view is lovely across a small valley and farms and you can hear the cows lowing and horses neighing and it’s very quiet and peaceful.

  The bed in the primary bedroom is super high and difficult to crawl into and the mattress has some type of topper that might be comfortable for a night or two but was a bit too soft for me and I did get a bit of a back ache by the last day But I imagine most would think it super comfortable.

  The only issue we had was that the previous guests didn’t clean up their dog poop before they left and there were quite a few piles around plus two poop bags in the back yard that we cleaned up. Other than that the place was clean and the hot tub was amazing!

• Hot & Not Private

  3/5

  Air conditioning is in living room only so bedrooms were extremely warm. Drones watched us while on the patio. We felt like someone was watching us and tried to enter the house several times. We also discovered that someone, who we assumed was the owner, was living in the garage.
