This cabin was a great place to stay! It was very clean, inviting and we loved the hot tub and view of the mountains! The hosts were spectacular to work with and made everything easy.

We spent our Christmas in this lovely mountain getaway and we had every amenity that we needed for our stay. The team that handles the property were very professional and provided us with all the information we would need for our stay. The cabin itself was lovely and very inviting. This is the perfect getaway that we needed. 6 stars if we could give it! The Thompson-Whitfields’

Mountain Getaway.

The road up and down was an adventure, but it was worth it for the house and the view. The house was as described and the little snacks were an added bonus. Having the hot tub at the end of night was lovely after an afternoon on taking a side by side up the mountain service roads. Loved that the place was pet friendly and included bowls and covers to keep the furniture clean. Shoutout to the all the neighbors who helped wrangle my dog when she took off up the mountain. Would stay here again-a weekend was not long enough.

Prancing Elk

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Prancing Elk cabin! We had amazing mountain views from the deck and hot tub. The house was very clean and had all the comforts of home. The ONLY drawback was that the one mile drive up the driveway was frightening for someone not accustomed to steep drives. The drive has a lot of potholes and steep cliffs. This is not something the owner could help but would have liked to have known this info beforehand. Again, cabin is worth the drive!
