Very clean, easy parking, easy to get to, and an amazing view on the day the fog cleared off. I do wish there was a couch instead of a the fireplace, but we didn't spend much time lounging in the room. It worked great for 2 people and we'll definitely be back again.

Cabin was clean with many personal touches. Cabin setting was outstanding great view of the mountains while sitting around the firepit looking for the northern lights was very relaxing. Had problem unlocking the cabin door but host was on top of it and quickly. Recommend to anyone to stay at this location.
