Beautiful home that was very clean, well stocked, and extremely comfortable set on a mountain with beautiful views! The hosts were very helpful and responsive. They provided clear instructions and information for check-in. It is a lovely, spacious home. We would stay here again, when in the area.

Amazing Cabin in the Mountain

This place was amazing and so wonderfully well-stocked. We came together as a family of nine (9) to celebrate Thanksgiving and had a pleasant and relaxing time here. The property is beautiful and the wildlife is fun to watch. I hope we get to come back on day!
