    The location was perfect for us - Close to the sites, but well off the beaten path. Pat was able to accommodate us for an unexpected early arrival without any problem. The house was clean and the kitchen was fully equipped.

Property info

Hello and Welcome to Desperado! We take immense pride in this property (and it shows). You'll see. Our other guests, and our many return guests, come for the peace, solitude, and relaxation that our homes/cabins, and the surrounding forest and mountains offer. PLEASE NOTE: We are unable to accommodate trailers, ATV's or UTV's at Desperado for the 2024 season. (Exceptions may be made for past guests - must contact property owners.) While at our homes you can observe deer, turkey, endless variety of birds, fox, coyote, wood chucks, squirrels, chipmunks, whistle pigs (yup!), and more. We have been proudly serving the vacationing public since 1994, and we hope you are able to become part of our growing group of very loyal guests. Your hosts, John and Patricia
