Perfect little cabin

Quick stay overnight with family, but worked out perfectly. Only feedback would be there were no ice trays to make ice. That would have been nice. Otherwise, great location for hiking and getting away from simmer heat.

New Years Stay

Cozy, lots of decorations. I would suggest hooks for coats, living room bedrooms. Left two board games, found none when arrived. Other than that you shroud be good to go.

Everything we hoped for.

Perfect little getaway cabin and just what we had hoped for. The place was quite clean and comfy and the staff were great to work with. Only things we were looking for that could've made it slightly better would be a newer smart TV so we could watch our Netflix, Hulu, etc...and maybe some board or card games. We're already looking forward to our next visit!

Great Stay

It was a bit pricy personally. The cabin had it's own unique theme and was beautifully decorated. They have all the basics you need for cooking which was amazing. My kids enjoyed the game room and are wanting to go back already.

Great little cabin

It was a great location, and easy to get to. I appreciated that they had a baby get at the bottom of the stairs. It worked out great for our weekend get away to the mountains.
