Cozy cabin with rustic charm

Cozy cabin in a really nice area. One negative I have is that there is a camera inside the house that seems to be active. Also they have winter sheets on the beds which can keep you too hot in the summer.

Thanks christo! i'll make a note about the cooler weather sheets being on too early. i don't believe the camera is active but will confirm and have it removed.

Beautiful rustic home

This place was absolutely beautiful! Very spacious and very clean! Unfortunately the hot tub was out of service but the owners were accommodated with this issue. The house is only a few minutes away from seven springs. Would recommend staying here as I would also stay here again. :)

(Almost) Perfect little getaway!

Picked this place for a quick girls getaway. From the moment we walked in, we couldn’t stop saying how nice it was in there! So cozy, so clean. Decorated absolutely beautiful!! Only downfalls were the cold windy rainy weather that kept us indoors the whole time and the hot tub not working :( We would 100% be back… actually wish we booked it for longer!

A Wonderful Time

What a great place to stay! It far surpasses the pictures, which are fine, but they don't fully capture how warm and comfortable the home is. There are interesting decorative touches throughout too. Two of our sons and families came for a weekend, and the grandchildren kept pointing out more of those touches as they noticed them! The home is spacious too, with a wonderful kitchen, a large dining table, and two relaxing seating areas...and the hot tub under the stars is a bonus! All in all, a wonderful place and location! We would gladly return for a second visit!

This incredible home was perfect for our family ski trip with our adult children!

We celebrated my husband and son’s birthday and in addition to the 7 of us that stayed, we had 3 family members that stopped by to celebrate. There was ample space for everyone and with a separate living room and family room, the kids were able to play without being in the adults’ conversations. Those of us that stayed at the house found the bedrooms to be very comfortable. The entire house was incredibly clean, yet inviting. After a full day of skiing we simply skied up across the street and walked over to the house for the evening! The next morning we skied down to the ticket office and continued the fun! While we enjoyed relaxing by the fire and cooking several meals in the amply stocked kitchen, we did nothing take the time to enjoy the hot tub as we were all too exhausted after our time on the slopes. The 20-something group is already planning next year’s visit and building in another day so we have time for the hot tub and family board games! We truly appreciate your hospitality.
