We enjoyed our stay here. The views from the balconies are gorgeous. The hot tub was a big hit. Definitely only stay here if stairs are not an obstacle for you. The location of the cabin was convenient. Only about 10-12 minutes from the man strip.

Beautiful cabin with a great location. About 5 miles from the main attractions so you get some of the peaceful serenity of the mountains while maintaining easy access to anything you want or need. I was unaware that this is a duplex style split/shared building until I arrived but it was not really an issue for us. Just be aware if your main goal is privacy this might not be the one.
