This is a truly beautiful home-clean, comfortable, and exactly as pictured. The space felt welcoming and well cared for, with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The host was extremely responsive and kind, making communication easy from booking to checkout. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to others.

Nice cabin with modern touches and comfortable beds. Fire pit and grill were great and the kitchen was nicely appointed. Drive to get to the cabin is a gravel road with a significant incline and can be tricky for those not use to driving on gravel without 4wd. Our family of 8 had a great few days here.

Perfect mountain cabin

This cabin was perfect! A separate room with bunk beds for the kids, two large rooms for the adults, 2 sitting rooms tucked away in the mountains and surrounded by nature. The driveway is a little steep, and some parts are very narrow. Our SUV was able to make it up easily, but be weary of taking smaller cars up. Thanks you for the amazing family vacation!

Lovely Mountain Getaway!

The house was inviting and super clean! The two rooms upstairs were huuuge and all the bathrooms were super cool. We really made ourselves at home here and enjoyed our long weekend. Great communication with the host and great amenities. Driveway was rather steep but was no problem for our SUV.

I live close by but don't have enough space to host my whole family, so we rented this house, and it was perfect. You can tell it's newly renovated.

Exquisite!!

Absolutely stunning cabin! Very quiet and close enough to other areas of interest. We needed a break and some peace and quiet after the holidays and this place delivered! The property owner was very responsive and the ease of no contact access was flawless. I highly recommend this beauty, don't sleep on this one, it was perfect!

House was wonderful! Beautifully decorated and every amenity provided! Beds were comfortable, lots of room and toys and books for our granddaughter. The only drawback was the driveway. It needs work and you need a 4 or all wheel drive. I had to back my SUV up the hill to get to the house.

Great property but a new things to note

We loved the house! It was so practical and very well decorated! The house had everything we needed. The host left us a basket full of goodies, and there were ample items for anything we needed during our stay and then some - soaps, paper towels, toilet paper, cleaning products, pots/pans, dishes, linens, etc. A few things that I wanted to share with other renters that I wish were shared with us: there was no heat turned on when we got there and it was COLD. It took us a while to figure out how to work the heat (pull down the slider on the remote) and took most of our first night for it to warm up. We all sat around in jackets and blankets. We also couldn’t figure out how to turn the chandelier on in the living room (the light switch is behind the sliding door to the bunk room). The house doesn’t have a microwave, so plan accordingly. We didn’t have anywhere to put trash bags once they were full and needed to be taken out. I messaged the host and she was very helpful and prompt to respond. We had a great time and would definitely stay there again!
