This cabin was AMAZING!! We stayed forn1 week and we really didnt want to leave. Every detail was thought of, everything we needed was right there and it was just impeccable!
Our stay here was perfect! You are immersed in the mountains with the most beautiful scenery. The house was exactly as listed and was the perfect entertaining area for people of all ages. It is equipped with any and all appliances and utensils you could need for cooking, which made this weekend in perfect. All around, only good things to stay. We look forward to come back!
The cabin was everything we could have asked for. The owner was easy to communicate with. The area is beautiful and the view from the house was breathtaking. There were 7 adults and two children. We had plenty of room and the downstairs game room and theater room were fabulous. We really enjoyed the game table. Now I want one. lol. The house had everything we needed.
Everything was amazing! Ladd is a wonderful host. She is a quick responder, very helpful, highly communicative. The views are gorgeous, the cabin is huge, the beds are soft, and wow 2 game rooms! This cabin is fully stocked and has everything you need. We had no reason to leave. The gamerooms had so many games and the surround sound in the theater made our television so worth it. I could go on and on about this place. By far one of the best rental properties Ive stayed in.
