About the host

Hosted by Nick

Host profile image
Meet your hosts! Dee & Brad love to travel and to spend time outdoors. We're always looking for excuses to take our next road trip. We've had so many wonderful experiences across the US and staying in peoples' homes both as a couple and with our family. Our love for travel really inspired us to have a vacation home that we could share with others!

Why they chose this property

This cabin is really a special place. We love spending time relaxing with our family and just taking a break from normal life. As you can see from the pictures, the cabin is perched on a ridge high above Carters Lake with a view of the mountains in the distance. It's so peaceful and such a beautiful place to be.

We love to start a quiet morning with a cup of coffee on the porch and listen to birds.

The cabin is also close to so many wonderful places - great little shops and restaurants, outdoor adventures, and plenty of excellent hikes! Every time we visit we find something new to explore!
