The cabin was a perfect stay, very comfortable, beds were comfortable including the loft bed. The view from the deck was beautiful and the area was quiet and peaceful. Getting to everything was quick and easy, only about 15 minutes from anywhere we wanted to go. Every interaction I had with the hosts was met with a quick response. Checking in and out was simple. We really loved our stay here and plan to book again.

Great little cabin, the bed was too soft for me so it made sleep difficult. Daughter tried to sleep on the futon in the loft and said it was not a good nights sleep. She liked the twin bed better. Nice cabin, a little tough to find. Owner did not send me entry instructions so we arrived a bit blind and had to call to get the entry code (the down side, cell phone service is bad in the area). Good thing we had our portable Starlink with us or we would have had to drive back down the hill to contact him.
