"Beautiful, country setting. It feels remote and private even though there are roads nearby . We had a smaller group so didn’t need all the space. But, the layout is perfect for a larger fam or friend gathering. Very comfy and loved the view and comfort of the shady outdoor porch in the heat!"

"This was a super cool rental. When the weather cooperated it had spectacular views of the surrounding mountains. The location was about a 15 min drive to grocery stores and restaurants, but we enjoyed the peace and quiet of Adams Rest. The hosts were responsive and did a great job of checking in to make sure we arrived safely. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this rental."
