Great getaway cabin
The cabin was great for a bigger group (we had 9 people with us) and the view was amazing- my only complaint is that they don't provide any towels for the 10 people they state it can hold and we didn't see any covers either- thankfully we had brought some. also, make sure you do have a 4x4 car ( as described on the descriptions) since the ride up the mountain is super steep- other than that, everything was as described, and we enjoyed our stay.

Awesome getaway
The stay was awesome. Very very clean, amenities are great. However, I wouldn’t necessarily recommend families with very small children (we had a 1 1/2 year old with us). Although there were plenty of baby gates to use, it isn’t the most baby friendly.

Fair experience
The road leading to the cabin is washed out in 2 of the sharpest turns. The cabin looks nice in the front but needs a lot of repairs.. The fence in the front was leaning and not safe. The fence around back at the fireplace has fallen down and around the parameter of the steep slope of the woods the fence rotted so be careful if you have smaller kids. The stairs on the side by the hot tub were wobbly. The hot tub has a brown ring around it and the water was dirty. Some of the foundation beams of the deck were rotted and there was a strap holding them together. Some have been replaced. The screens were falling out of the windows and the window trim was hanging from the windows. There was trash and beer cans outside from the previous ppl. The inside ceiling fan didn’t work in the main living room. The dryer door was hard to close and the washer smells like mildew. The shower upstairs had a lot of hard water stains. The dart board didn’t work downstairs and we could not figure out how to work the tv. The handwritten instructions were not helpful and a lot of it had been scratched out. We had to watch the tiny tv upstairs. The inside could use some updating and a good dusting but overall was very clean. The kitchen was nice and had everything needed to cook. There were plenty of towels and pillows. The view was beautiful and it was peaceful. It wasn’t a terrible stay but I expected more for the price. If repairs are made I would return for another visit.

Great views
My husband and his friends spent a long weekend here in September. They ended up spending more time out exploring than at the house, but it was a great “home base” for them and offered great views and comfortable accomodations for their group of five. Communication with the property manager was easy and helpful.

Nice experience
The cabin overall is really nice! Worth spending your money here. The only thing I didn’t like was driving the long and bumpy mountain to the cabin. Overall cleaning was good just need to clean the fan ceilings.
