This was my second stay in this awesome cabin! The location is perfect, close to everything, yet very secluded in a wonderful setting. I watched elk and mule deer from the porch. The owners are great to deal with and have thought of everything. Can't say enough great things and will be back!

First of all I would give a tip of my hat to the person who keeps this cabin TOTALLY SPOTLESS! Excellent cleaning!The only thing I can think of is there was very little light in the kitchen and bathroom making it difficult to cook and shave. VERY COZY cabin!
