The house was great. Comfortable beds and great views. We enjoyed the well stocked kitchen and the little details that made the house cozy. Mae was a great hostess, easy to contact. My only complaint was the dirt mountain road to get there. You should have 4wheel drive.

Thanksgiving family vacation

The property was beautiful and cozy. The mountain view was incredible. Our family enjoyed the hot tub and pool table. The cabin was decorated for Christmas and that was a plus. It added to the atmosphere of our vacation. Beautiful place to spend time with our grown children and grandchild.

Perfect for a Group of Couples

This was the perfect spot for three couples to have lots of space, plenty of activities, great amenities, and a gorgeous view. The only detractor is the road to get to the cabin which is very rough and steep in certain spots.

Nice stay

We loved our stay. Everything was clean and organized. The only thing we did not like was the drive up (20-30mins) gravel roads, but that can be common with a stay in the mountains. The property manager was great with communication. The cabin does have great views which we enjoyed.

The home was clean, warm, inviting, and decorated beautifully. We loved it. Only negative was the drive up the mountain. I didn’t know it was so difficult to access the cabin until I got the text a few days before about the road’s conditions. If it was on the listing, I would have rented a jeep for the stay. Try to let people know about it earlier so they can plan to rent something and bring more supplies to limit trips down the mountain. Being an older mountain man, used to mountain travel, I was fine. Also, the hot tub was really murky and had a greenish hue. Try a good clarifier to remove the minerals.
