The cabin is very private. My wife has mobility issues and the cabin was very accessible for her. We saw five bears at the cabin. I would recommend the cabin for your next vacation.
Very clean. Beautiful view. Not a lot of cabins near you. Close enough but far enough from the crazy! Cabin is beautifully decorated and taken care of

Reviewer Comments:
The cabin was beautiful with a phenomenal view, comfortable linens, and great shower pressure. It was clean overall, but it felt like it had been a while since anyone had freshened things up, and the throw rugs looked a bit dingy. The biggest issue was the dryer not working. I did laundry the night before checkout and had to haul wet clothes for hours. Which cut into our trip. When I reported it, management was dismissive, which was disappointing. It’s a lovely spot, but better maintenance and more attentive service would make a big difference.
This cabin was very good. We had a great time there, the views were amazing. The reason it was not 5 stars, was the dryer did not dry. It turned on, no matter what setting we used, it would not get warm. Also, the listing stated pet friendly. We don't mind our dogs hair, not someone elses dog. Though we did not bring our dogs, there was some dog hair throughout the cabin. So we had to do a little bit of tidying up before we unpacked our things for the week. We did see a mama bear with 3 cubs walking through the back yard. A bear also opened our car door and crawled through the car and looked around, we had just pulled in and were carrying bags into the cabin, the doors of the car were shut, I went back out to lock the car and the drivers door was open! Lol! There were muddy paw prints on the door handle and on the front and back seats! I asked the host for the ring camera footage, but was told they did not have access to the footage. I just wanted to show my friends for the story! In conclusion I would stay here again, if the dryer worked and the cabin was a little more tidy. Other than that the cabin was very good.

Thank you for your feedback. While we take extra measures in pet friendly cabins it may be possible for some to exist.. But throughout the cabin is not up to what we expect from our team or for our guest. We will review the housekeeping results with our team and esure adjustments are made.
We enjoyed our six night stay. The cabin has all the amenities we needed. The porch has rocking chairs to relax and enjoy the fantastic mountain view during the day and the starry sky at night. The hot tub is great after hiking in the park. The beds are comfortable too. Loved the video game machine and checkers table. Communication with the hosts was great.
The cabin was perfect for my daughter and myself. The views were incredible! The hot tub was awesome. The fire pit was amazing. I loved all the modern updates. Not too far from town. Saw a bear! Drive up was a bit inclined but not too bad. It truly was a wonderful rental and I would definitely come back!
