We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful relaxing cabin! Communication with the owner was wonderful from the start. The well paved roads were a bit steep in some spots but still an easy drive in a standard SUV. We loved the cabin at first site. A large porch with rocking chairs for morning coffee with an amazing view of the mountains. We and our husky loved the one floor living space. Well appointed kitchen with everything you need, they thought of everything. The bedrooms were very comfortable and the living room is so cozy with the fireplace and views for miles. We have stayed in many cabins over the last 15 years and this cabin is definitely in the top 3.
