Great stay

Overall great property- easy to get to with offline maps and very close to the places we wanted to see. The outside grill was easy to use and was lovely staying by the creek. the firepit was also easy to use too. Inside, the place felt very clean. In the kitchen, there even is an electric indoor grill if you do not want to cook outside. Temperature was comfortable. The only issue is when we checked some of the blankets, there was still some fur on it (from my guess, previous guests) so we did not use those blankets.

Tranquil mountain cottage

This cottage was as cute as can be with every amenity for comfort, the yard is serene and has a picturesque stream which can be heard from the house. Easy drive to hiking and skyline drive.
