This property is absolutely amazing. It is right outside of town but also feels like your own private getaway deep in the mountains. Such a beautiful cabin with a rustic feel but is totally modern. The creek running through the property topped it all off, the sound of rushing water outside and deep enough to take a dip and cool off. I would highly recommend to anyone considering staying. Will definitely be back!

Thank you so much for this wonderful review. We're thrilled you loved the perfect balance of being just outside town while still feeling like a private mountain retreat, and that the creek made the whole experience even more special. It sounds like an absolutely magical stay, and we can't wait to welcome you back.
