Amazing Cabin in the Mountain

This place was amazing and so wonderfully well-stocked. We came together as a family of nine (9) to celebrate Thanksgiving and had a pleasant and relaxing time here. The property is beautiful and the wildlife is fun to watch. I hope we get to come back on day!

This home was amazing! We needed a place large enough for several family members and this house exceeded our expectations. Our family was able to relax and enjoy each other as well as do multiple activities that were located on the property. The entire house was supplied with anything and everything you could possibly need for our stay and the house was immaculately clean. The hosts, Jill and Kevin were so easy to work with prior to our visit. They notified us when the rental was available for our check-in and checked in on us during our visit to make sure everything was going good and to give some recommendations on local hiking trails in the area. The views from the house are so beautiful you catch yourself just sitting there staring outside or sitting on the deck to watch the views. We would highly recommend this rental!

About the host

Hosted by Jill & Kevin

Host profile image
We travel a lot and want to share our custom home built and designed by us with you. We homesteaded the property with our 3 children living in a 1969 Airstream while we cleared the property and built our dream home. Solar system and battery bank provide power when the grid goes down. Fresh mountain water from 600 feet down provides the best tasting water you will ever have. Our now adult children come home just to fill their water bottles to take with them.

Why they chose this property

Snuggled amongst the trees and wildlife this property provides a quiet retreat from the city but is close enough to work and play in the city. Property backs up to the national forest and regularly has visitors that include deer, bears and large variety of birds.

What makes this property unique

Private access to National Forest. Hiking, bike and Jeep trails near by. Inverted floor plan gets you up above the tree line to enjoy your coffee and outstanding views.
