This cabin was everything we wanted and more. We had a couple last minute changes and the host was super helpful and very responsive to communications. I cannot recommend the property enough! My only complaint is that we didn’t see any bears…but you can’t control Mother Nature!

Perfect mountain getaway!

This cabin and host were perfect! Clean, cozy, and quiet! The listing is spot on and the host, Nancy, was extremely responsive. We had everything we needed, minus a quick trip to the grocery. Be sure to have a reliable vehicle as the roads are steep, but well worth the drive! Loved our stay!

We enjoyed the cabin it was beautiful. They had it decorated for Christmas. I would suggest when driving up to the cabin the very first time go when it is daylight. We drove at night and not knowing the roads was very scary. Other than that beautiful. We all loved the games upstairs. Thank you again.

Host was very responsive and provided clear communication. Cabin was just as described, well maintained and clean. Kitchen was well stocked with basic spices and appliances/cookware. Loved that cabin was decorated for Christmas! It is an exciting/winding drive to the cabin, which was noted in details provided by the host. No issues for our small SUV though. We’d come back again!

The cabin was perfect. Master suites on each floor was a huge bonus and the kids loved the loft game room. The cabin was cozy, clean and the fully stocked kitchen was perfect for our needs. My favorite feature was the screened in porch with sofas, dining area and a TV, and the hot tub was private and relaxing. The kids enjoyed making s'mores at the fire pit. This property was perfect and I would highly recommend. Communication was great. Overall an excellent experience.
