My family had a great time at this cabin. It's clear that the owners poured a lot of thought and care into creating a warm, inviting space. The kids couldn’t get enough of the loft — it became their little hideaway! With the cozy fireplace, soft lighting from the lamps, and the vinyl player, the living room was the perfect place to relax and spend quality time together. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat with tons of charm and character!

Beautiful cabin!
The cabin is clean, comfortable, and well equipped. We felt like we were in our own home, and absolutely loved our stay! Kids loved the games and books, and of course the drum set! Thank you!
This cabin was perfect for a weekend retreat for my family. It reminded us of our own vacation property in Washington state and matched our families "vibe" perfectly. We did not find WiFi instructions, but we didn't end up using it anyhow, nor did we miss TV (adult children who stayed there grew up without TV) and all agreed that the reason to rent a place in the mountains is to go exploring, fishing, and enjoy some peace and quiet. Overall, we loved the property and hope to return again.
