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.
