What Our Guests Are Saying
Our trip was the perfect getaway! The house had everything we would need and more. Even prior to my arrival the staff were very responsive and attentive to questions and requests! Thank you for allowing us to have a memorable experience at one of your homes!
This mountain home was perfect for our Bachelorette weekend! We loved the extra homey touches (local chocolate, mac 'n cheese, and soaps) and enjoyed cooking in the kitchen, spending time in the hot tub, and even having a cozy fire inside on a rainy day. Definitely would stay again and recommend!
We loved our stay at Two Chimneys and would recommend this house to anyone looking for a quiet weekend away. The property is intensely gorgeous with plenty of space, the house is well-equipped with rainy day activities, and the location is convenient.
