Guest Book: 'Top of the World'. Wow!!! The views were unbelievable. The house was gorgeous. If you want peace and tranquility you'll have it here. We brought our kids. An 8yr old and twin 3yr olds. What was I thinking? It's romantic... We hated to leave... I would recommend this house to anyone with or without small children :) A well appointed and hidden home - not a cabin... We will return!!!
