Great location and plenty of room for grandparents, parents and children. Nice bedrooms upstairs, and bunks on lowest level. So nice to have the hot tub after hikes. The washer/dryer are a plus. There is a small creek at the bottom of a steep hill, so the cabin is not really "creek-side".

Amazing Escape

Such a wonderful, serene property. Perfect distance from town, so we could get a little daily exercise in. The kids loved being able to just play in the backyard all day on the swings and then came in at night and played some more with all the fun board games, cards, and building toys they had inside. Spacious layout, and the old furnace made it magical!

Amazing Mountain Cabin

We stayed at the cabin for a girls weekend and the cabin was perfect! There are plenty of comfortable beds, lounging areas, a warm wood stove, and just an overall cute, cozy cabin. The communication with the host was great and he even made sure the road, driveway and stairs were cleared of snow for us. We will definitely be back!

Great cozy cabin, excellent location

A great cozy cabin with a terrific deck and lots of room for a large group. Good location, more or less walking distance into town. Lots of beautiful new appliances in the kitchen. A terrific cabin! One thing to be advised about is that one of the bunk beds is pressed so firmly against the side of the wall that an adult cannot fit into it, so this only reasonably sleeps about 9 adults.

A pleasurable natural habitat, feeling of home within the wilderness

I booked this cabin for a family of 12 adults, for a wedding event at the Harvey’s house venue, it sure is the perfect place for big family, the kitchen is fully stocked, cook large or small quantities. Great coffee pot, big dining area, it’s was a little chilly, but we had plenty of blankets. Not to mention the outdoor, so much to do, the hail and rain we had brought so much water to the creek, the sound of it was so relaxing, I reach out to Alexander a few times and he was quick to reply, my experience and my family really enjoyed the stay thank you so much, we sure return again for a little longer time.
