    Peter has a truly special little spot, tucked away in the mountains. We loved every moment of it. During our stay, there was a day where it rained nonstop. We never had to leave the treehouse and stayed dry, cozy and entertained. We never felt trapped inside because of the beautiful view and the open porch area. Peter was kind, helpful and responsive. And his sweet pup Molly was always available for a play session with our dog. It was such a relaxing stay and we hope to be back soon! Thank you again, Peter! Give Molly some love from us.

    Peter’s place was absolutely fantastic. Mountain view was immaculate, and the communication was top-notch from start to finish. The property had everything we needed and all the amenities you could ask for. It was the perfect balance of feeling like we were truly camping while still having the comfort and convenience of electricity. Easy access to the lake made it even better and was definitely one of the highlights of the stay. Everything was clean, convenient, and exactly what we were hoping for. 10/10 experience — we’ll absolutely be back!
