If I could rate this experience as 6 star I would. Everything about the weekend couldn't have been better from the ease of booking down to the communication with the owner, Frank, who was in contact to make sure our stay was perfect in every way.
To start, Frank contacted us well in advance of our stay to give us information about the property, setup the keycodes, tell us more about what to expect, and last minute things to be aware of. I have never had this level of checkup prior to a VRBO rental before. On the day we were headed up, it was very rainy and Frank checked in to make sure we arrived ok and suggestions on things to do with the rain.
The route to get to the cabin is amazing easy. Sometimes it can be hard to get to a cabin with the roads in the mountains but in this case it was simple to get up the mountain and follow the road signs. It is just off the high, about 3 miles or so away. You can not hear the highway from the cabin. Gorgeous views to get to the cabin. Plenty of parking for 2 vehicles at the cabin with a covering overtop.
When we arrived to the cabin, we were greeted with more amenities than we could have expected. A welcome basket, a well stocked kitchen with spices, breakfast pancake mixes, basically more than we have at home in case you forgot anything. The Keurig coffee maker was also well stocked with enough coffee pods for a week. The apple donuts were the perfect touch. We enjoyed all weekend.
The cozy cabin on the main level has app controlled lighting. At first I wasn't all that interested but when I downloaded the app, it makes a huge difference. Adjusting the lighting to relaxing colors made the living room and kitchen even more inviting. The remote controlled fireplace and just relaxing and doing a little binge watching of tv was perfect. The bathroom is extremely well down, 2 shower heads and also a toilet with a bidet. Water was hot and everything worked well. I also want to mention the internet was high speed and we had no issue. My wife and I work from home and had no problems with video calls.
The game room/kids area is underneath the main cabin. The retro video games were fun. I was reminded why I was horrible at Joust 40 years ago and apparently age hasn't improved that skill. We also played the infinity table which was novel and a lot of fun. We enjoyed the Harry Potter chess and Scrabble.
The outside is gorgeous with an great hot tub. Highly recommend this spot for a getaway!!
