Home was clean, Family friendly home. One concern was steep single gravel access road due to multiple residents living in area.

Super cute and clean!

The cabin is super cute and tucked away in the woods. It's small, just as the photos show, but met all our needs. We had a few questions come up while we were there and the host was very responsive and kind. Thanks for allowing us to stay!

Sadly, we had to cancel at the last minute because of extreme weather conditions and ice. The owner was extremely understanding and put our safety first. We are really looking forward to booking a stay in the future!

Our family visited the area for a long weekend. It was a surprise birthday trip for our 7 year old son who had never been to the mountains other than driving through. I know we as parents don’t do things for our kids expecting that hallmark movie reaction. But let me just say it makes the time, money, and effort feel even more worth it when you pull up at sunset and your kid is bouncing out of his seat because he’s so excited to stay in a “real life cabin”! The amount of times we heard “this is the best day of my life” will live in my memory forever. I am so grateful to our host for being extremely responsive for any questions we had and offering up suggestions of things to do and places to visit. Property was clean, simple, and had that storybook cabin feel. Gravel road was a typical mountain road…steep, sharp turns, and narrow, but seemed like any car would handle it fine. The house had some board games, cards, maps, etc. we brought our own but it was fun for our son to see that this was a place meant for kids too. Highly recommend and will be back!!
