This was a very relaxing spot! A beautiful rocky peak straight out the chalet living room windows was awesome! The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of towels and space for our family of 7! The cabin decor style was fun and having the washer and dryer available was a plus! Thanks for sharing this beautiful spot!

What a great spot, and beautiful accomodations. lots of room and comfortable sitting areas. The front deck was great for morning coffee and evening dinners. Located in a great spot for what we were looking to do. The host was always accessable from the time the booking was made, till after we were on our way home. One warning, if you are driving in the evening in the area, pay attention as there are alot of deer off the side of the road.
