Wonderful Getaway

My daughter and I had such a great time here. It was super clean and cozy! We loved the location, too, as it was close to numerous hiking trails and a few local restaurants, yet far enough away to feel secluded for that mountain feel. We would definitely book here again!

Beautiful Vacation Spot

We had a wonderful time staying at this property. The cabin was incredibly clean and beautifully decorated and well stocked with all the necessary tools for the stay, with a stunning view. The hosts were incredibly kind, responsive when/if we needed them or had questions, and made the stay really pleasant and hassle free. I HIGHLY recommend staying at ANY of the 3 cabins spread out on this property, and we look forward to booking with them again soon.

Hiking and peacefulness

The A frame cabin is cozy and modern in the middle of a beautiful setting in the woods. Off the beaten path and also easy to find. The outside fire pit and lighting was so peaceful and lovely. The space is meant for 1 or 2 people. Small and cozy with a bit of a climb to get to the super comfy bed. If mobility issues it may be a problem. Will be back for sure!

Randomly found this property and glad I did. Its view from the bedroom and the living room are great. It was up in the mountain high enough to see far out. My girlfriend and I really liked this cabin and will likely be back next year.
