This property was very nice! We got a little lost on the way and our host was so helpful and even offered to meet us to show us how to get there if needed! Amazing hospitality! We really enjoyed the cozy cabin-perfect for me and my two teen children.

We really enjoyed our quick visit! We loved the room that had the bunk beds for our boys and the house had all we could need. We also loved being away from the city. It was so quiet and relaxing (as much as you can relax with three kids). Definitely recommend!

This place was awesome!!! We spent the weekend here and had a blast exploring and just hanging out at the cabin. I think my favorite part was how comfortable the bed was. We will definitely come back

Friendly host and adorable decor in the cabin. If a quiet retreat in nature is what you're looking for, this is the place!The most challenging part for us was the long, winding drive to reach it. So many kitchen amenities! Very cute place.Thank you!

I spent 3 nights on my own - needed some reflection time! It was perfect. Great cabin and good hiking nearby. Also found a great lookout spot towards the top of the mountain which was great for stargazing! Jessica was the perfect host.

Thank you, Peter. I’m glad you ventured to the overlook. It’s beautiful on top of the mountain and it isn’t far from the cabin at all! Would love to host you again sometime.

This is one of the best cabins I have rented through this site. I am definitely coming back to stay here, and hopefully next time I can stay even longer. The Host , Jessica was very prompt, in responding when a question arises. She is very courteous, hospitable, and professional. The cabin was amazing, with all the comforts of be far away, but right at home. The peace and tranquility that it offers are unmatched. I highly recommend staying here. The drive up to the cabin is perfect, and beautiful as well, with some amazing views. For those that love peace and quiet, this is the place. Thank you Jessica and family for sharing this property with others, as I have immensely enjoyed my time here, and I very much look to return in the near future. Have a blessed day.

We felt comfortable inside and the pictures were accurate for that, however the images of views were misleading. The walk down the steps outside need railing and a light. The motion light only iluminated once you got all the way down to the porch. Initially very disappointed on the description v actual, however we did enjoy being there. It was a clean and well appointed kitchen. Instructions state load the dishwasher... there isnt one. Some basic tweeks would make this much better and safer for anyone with mobility issues. If you ever expect anyone with a disability to utilize this cabin you need a ramp.
