Incredible place. Great hosts. We had a wonderful time on the mountain top. The house is fully stocked and loved the back porch. We recommend arriving during the day because the road up to the house can be a little precarious, but totally worth it once you get to the house. If we ever come back to the area we would def stay here again.

Everything was perfect! The cabin was super clean, beautifully decorated and we loved both fireplaces which kept us warm every day. Location was easy to get to and the roads were not bad. Can’t wait visit again. So much to do, so little time. We’ll be back. Thanks to the hosts again for the lovely stay.
