My now fiancé and I went up here as a more intimate way for us to find out the gender of our first child! To my surprise I also got engaged! For such a special weekend for us, this was a cute and quiet place to stay with some beautiful views! It snowed as well while we were up there so it turned into a winter wonderland! Just magical (:

Not a good stay
This cabin is on the second story of a larger cabin below. We heard our neighbors downstairs past 3am. This cabin had a rank smell. Not a good time.
