This place was awesome!!! We spent the weekend here and had a blast exploring and just hanging out at the cabin. I think my favorite part was how comfortable the bed was. We will definitely come back

Friendly host and adorable decor in the cabin. If a quiet retreat in nature is what you're looking for, this is the place!The most challenging part for us was the long, winding drive to reach it. So many kitchen amenities! Very cute place.Thank you!

I spent 3 nights on my own - needed some reflection time! It was perfect. Great cabin and good hiking nearby. Also found a great lookout spot towards the top of the mountain which was great for stargazing! Jessica was the perfect host.

Thank you, Peter. I’m glad you ventured to the overlook. It’s beautiful on top of the mountain and it isn’t far from the cabin at all! Would love to host you again sometime.
