The view is very pretty, I got to see wild horses and elk. Definitely need 4 wheel drive to get up there. Very clean and had everything you need. Will definitely make it a get away from life.
My son and I stayed for four nights in February. We arrived in Alto after it had been snowing for two days, and the property was inaccessible by its driveway. No problem - we were there to ski, after all, so more snow was just great by us! Quick call to the property manager, and they came out and plowed for us. Drove right up. Great service.
This tiny house was well done! So cute, welcoming, and cozy! Everything needed was there! When they say 4 wheel drive is recommended, it’s actually necessary! We had to park at the bottom and hike to the home! It’s a rough climb carrying bags so it limited what we brought up! The elk and wild horses were fun to watch. We would definitely come again, next time we will just bring the truck!

Mother Nature strikes again
When we arrived at the steep driveway, due to recent rains, it was not passable, even in our 4 wheel drive truck. The owners were unaware of this situation. Upon making contact with Willam from Evolve we were given a full refund.

Peaceful and quiet
Definitely enjoyed this quaint little get away! 4 wheel drive recommended - but the drive up the mountain is beautiful so much wildlife and nature to take in!
Beautiful area, secluded and what we wanted. The tiny home was well appointed and clean and fresh and new. The driveway was not navigatable due to afternoon rains and washout. 4 wheel drive jeep or tractor is the only way to get to it with the driveway in its current condition (as of 8-4-22) Overall …very cool 😎

Gorgeous mountain getaway
My wife and I were lucky enough to see snow while we were there in February. The snow capped mountains were lovely and the tiny house cabin was even better than we expected- we were so surprised by how spacious it actually was. Definitely recommend this as a romantic get away for couples!

Beautiful Views
I am so happy I was able to stay at this property! The views and elevation are so incredible. You can hike from the property to the Lookout which is absolutely breathtaking. Not to mention the little tiny house was so adorable and made my stay complete!

Quaint space in the mountains
My husband and I stayed in this adorable little cabin. There is some damage to the Forrest due to a fire that happened around the property years ago but the views and access to the national forest more than make up for it. We are so happy we found this little gem! We will definitely be back!

A perfect piece of God's Country
The view of the mountains and the crisp air was a perfect combination. Our time there was so peaceful and relaxing and the memories made will last us a life time. My experience was amazing and we will certainly be returning there for the winter.
