An Absolute Gem in Portal!it's

We recently stayed at this incredible cabin and cannot recommend it enough. The space is modern, immaculately clean, and exceptionally comfortable. The mountain views are absolutely breathtaking and we spent hours watching the incredible variety of birds at the feeders. Our absolute favorite spot was the screened porch with the fireplace--perfect for cozying in the evenings. And the dark skies make stargazing a stunning experience in this area. Amenities are more than adequate and the location is unbeatable. It's right on Portal Road, making it super convenient to pop over the Portal Lodge and Cafe to enjoy a burger and a brew. If you are looking for a delightful, relaxing getaway with stunning views and great hiking opportunities, this is the place to book. We will definitely be back.
