This is a new listing for us but book with confidence as we offer our love it or money-back guarantee. If upon check-in you do not like the cabin for any reason or feel that anything was misrepresented in the listing, we will give you a full refund with no questions asked. This is not a 5-star hotel room. If you are looking for that, we recommend looking at the Stanley Hotel. This is a 5-star experience with the great outdoors in an imperfectly perfect cabin.
