Better than expected!
I have to admit that this place was nicer than what I though. If you want a place to completely relax and connect with nature, then look no further. Location was key. It wasn’t far away from anything. There is so many things we didn’t get to do since our time was limited, but I’m planning to go back and visit. Loved this cabin.

Family Ski Trip
Our stay could not have been any better. Wonderful experience with a true cabin feel in a great location. The cabin was just as expected, clean and with all the essentials needed for a fun filled 4 days of skiing and sightseeing. The photos do a transparent job on what to expect, beautiful kitchen, spacious living room, comfortable bedrooms and the best part, the huge backyard with the highlight of our stay, the fire pit. Highly recommended. Can’t wait to go back.

Nice location—bring ice and all cooking gear
We stayed here with our pups for a wedding and also some hiking. The house has a beautiful view, is very dog friendly and we loved the outdoor fenced area and large deck! Very quiet location, and we enjoyed watching deer and having a fire in the fire pit area. Some downsides—the primary bedroom has an open bathroom with no door (!). The bed is very squeaky—even just turning over can be loud. The ice maker is broken and there is no ice so stop for ice before heading up the mountain. Otherwise this is a nice short term stay for a couple or small family.

Perfect for families with dogs
House was beautiful, well equipped, and in a great location. Nice fenced area for dogs that was right off the deck. Deck had good latching gates so dogs could wonder on deck freely. Inside was spacious with a master suite on main level. A nice size kitchen/dining area and living room space. Only issues during the week was a small leak in kitchen to which the property owner responded they would be addressing, the WiFi went out for the last two days of the stay (so no TV watching and limited phone service for us since no cell signal), and on last day of stay the AC unit stopped working. I reported the WiFi outage and the AC not working to the property owner today when departing, but haven’t gotten a response yet. Despite these few unexpected things, we had a great week and would definitely consider renting this cabin again in future.

Getaway family weekend
Very pretty home with a beautiful yard! I love that it is pet and toddler friendly! However, walls are thin. Would stay here again in the future.
