Great Cabin with Views and Fenced-In Yard

The cabin was great. The drive up the mountain was fun with all of the snow left after the storm. We enjoyed the view and playing with our pups in the yard.

Remote location with great views

Property was well maintained and clean. The owners were super responsive and even took a late night call when we couldn’t find where to go due to rain and dense fog. Loved the views and the space. Plan to stay here again.

Wonderful Stay! Truly in the Mountains.

We would stay at this property again-everything was great! The only minor suggestion I have, is to ask people to please clean up behind their pets in the fenced in area when they leave so that it’s clean and clear for the next guests. We’re thankful for a place where people can bring their fur children, so that the only issue we had. Otherwise, great stay all the way around!

2nd Stay

This was our second time staying at the cabin and we loved it even more this time! It’s awesome for pets as it is completely fenced in. The kitchen is well stocked with appliances that you might need. The beds are super comfortable. Cell service worked well for AT&T but nothing for t-mobile. We will absolutely be back next year.

Beautiful Cabin

I loved the cabin, it was everything that the description said. Beds were very comfortable, kitchen was fully stocked with everything you need to cook. If you have time for a movie or board games there's lots of them. Cabin was very clean. The only thing I didn't like was the narrow steep dirt road it is on. Very steep but it was worth it.

Off The Grid

We had an amazing time at this cabin, peace and quiet. This cabin had everything you need to get away, kitchen was amazing, beds comfortable, and all the kitchen gadgets you need to make you comfortable. DVD heaven, no internet but it was great being unplugged from social media. I recommend this cabin to all that need to unplug. Reading and drinking coffee on the front porch swing was de relaxing. We will definitely be back. We had no problem getting to this cabin. We love our getaway!!!! Thank you to our hosts.

Beautiful View

Getting to the cabin is an adventure. Fortunately our map continued to work for the full drive up the steep, gravel roads. If not, we may not have found it with very limited markings along the way. Be aware that it seems to take a vehicle with a little more umph to get up to the cabin and should have higher clearance. Once at the cabin, getting in was easy. Lighting is one area that lost points for the stay. The main living area is dark with minimal lighting. There were three of us for the stay and we were only alotted 3 towels for the entire stay meaning use multiple times or do laundry while your on vacation. The cabin itself is very nice and comfortable. Overall, we did enjoy our stay but thought a little more forewarning regarding the drive was necessary.

Secluded & Great Views

If you want a quiet getaway in the woods (on top of a mountain actually) then you will love this property. The views are breathtaking from the front porch. The house is nice and comfortable. I will say the couch has seen better days, but the indoor fireplace was a nice touch. There is not wood provided for the outdoor fire pit FYI. The property managers were responsive and helpful to our questions. I will caution the drive leading up to the house is tricky and somewhat difficult to find-with huge drop offs to the side of you. And then there’s the driveway to the house. Very steep with a curve and again a drop off to the left of you. Definitely recommend 4wheel drive or a big car that can handle it. It was a bit daunting. Other than that, we had a nice stay and the dogs loved it too!

We had a great stay! Between the cleanliness, the beautiful views, and the secluded feeling. The roads were unpaved and a natural setting, I highly recommend a smaller Car/SUV. A bigger SUV and truck will be extremely tight

Beautiful mountain view, lovely cozy cabin. This cabin was so charming. The front porch was relaxing and featured a 2 person swing along with comfortable chairs and a little eating table. The interior was very clean and featured a living/dining area with a fireplace and bathroom. The kitchen was well furnished and included a coffee bar. Two bedrooms upstairs with comfortable beds and a nice bathroom. We loved the serenity.

Excellent stay!! We definitely will be back. The cabin was tricky to find even with following directions sent. There is not clear signage and we made several wrong turns. But the cabin itself is AMAZING. The view is unmatched. The fenced in back yard was perfect for our toddler and pets to safely play. We absolutely loved our stay.
