Location is fantastic! The view from the deck is outstanding, can't be beat! As soon as we walked into the cabin we felt at home! Mountain Haven is set up to create the best possible welcome for guests. The equipped kitchen was easy to use, the bed was comfortable, and the bathroom clean and roomy. Extra storage cubbys by the bed helps to keep clutter to a minimum. The bathroom has storage shelves behind the door to help keep items out of the way. An issue came up when we first arrived and Erik was quick to get a handyman there to repair. You cannot ask for a better host than Erik. He is very efficient! We plan to return. Thank you Erik!
