What makes this property unique
We've decorated and equipped this cabin with every group in mind. As you enter the main level, you're greeted by a beautiful open living area that showcases the incredible long range views through the windows. Our cabin is kid friendly equipped with an upstairs play loft that includes books, toys, games, tee pee, and even a kid's sized kitchen. We also include an extra pack n play and booster seat!
In the bedrooms, we've tastefully decorated and equipped the beds with high quality linens and pillows. In the bathrooms, you'll enjoy soaking in our large tubs with lavender bath salts and scented candles after a long hike.
In the bottom level, enjoy our game room with foosball, ping pong, and an exit out to our large hot tub overlooking the incredible view.
We take pride in supplying every possible thing you'd need. We include hair dryers, extra linens, dog supplies, baby and kid gear, etc. We want you to feel at home, but away from home!
