This lovely wood cabin is in the middle of a large meadow with mountain views and woods nearby. All was clean and bug-free. The kitchen is small but well-appointed--lots of dishes, microwave. Bring food--it is a long way to town. We stayed here for a weekend in June and enjoyed the weather--warm days and cool evenings. The front and back porches are large, and the back porch is screened-in. We ate our meals on the picnic table on the back porch. We enjoyed watching the bird (a phoebe) that had made her nest in the rafters of the front porch. The front porch has some chairs, but bring some deck chairs for sitting on the lawn. We played horseshoes on the lawn (provided at the cabin). We grilled hamburgers (grill provided at cabin) and had a campfire and s'mores in the evening. The sunsets were beautiful. This is a great place for star-gazing. The skies are very dark, the Milky Way stretches out across the sky, and there are good horizons. A real treat for city dwellers who never see the starry night sky. Bring binoculars for both bird-watching and star-gazing, or a telescope if you have one Our group included my Dad who is in his nineties and my grandniece who was less than a year old, and both enjoyed it. Highly recommended!
Recommended for:Pet owners, adventure seekers, age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers.
