We had a fantastic time at Thunderheart. Pat and John met us at the house when we arrived and showed us around. They were very friendly, answering our many questions. During our stay they reached out to us to see how we were doing. The house is very close to many tourist attractions, but still secluded and in a quiet area. We will definitely recommend Thunderheart to our friends.
