The hot tub is a bit outdated and there is some maintenance inside the cabin that is needed. We also struggled trying to figure out the TV, but we didn’t come to the cabin to watch TV, so it wasn’t that big of a deal. Overall, the cabin was nice and met our needs.

We loved our visit to Cozy Cabin! It’s the perfect place to unplug, minimal cell service(could depend on your cell provider ). The internet & Wi-Fi were spotty at night but hey, it’s in the mountains that’s to be expected.Bed was great! Hand soap in bathroom was empty, we couldn’t find a refill.
Beautiful view

Great place near beautiful parks and trails. The cabin was cozy and well appointed. The rear deck (with hot tub, grill and hammock) was a nice plus after long hikes. Our soar muscles and big appetites approved. There was a sufficient selection of cookware in the kitchen, a great table/island and good counter space, a leather couch and TV, a comfy king sized bed, and a good sized bathroom with stackable laundry machines and plenty of towels. We were very impressed by how efficiently everything was laid out, for maximum function and comfort. The directions for check in and checkout were easy to follow, and the owner left a nice assortment of grab and go snacks in a basket on the kitchen table. I'm a sucker for Oreos and Rice Krispie treats. 10/10 would recommend.

Shining Star

The red star cabin was perfect. Far enough away for quiet time, but close enough to run and go get supplies if needed.
