We stayed for 6 nights and eloped at a nearby mountain! This cabin is nestled up in the woods in a ski-resort town. The hot tub was a great place to decompress each night. The kitchen had every appliance you could possibly need, which came in handy! The beds were comfy, the water was good to drink from the tap, and the kids loved playing the arcade games in the basement! We loved the overall space and everyone had their own bedroom to retreat to. We had an issue with overall cleanliness when we arrived, but the management team was prompt to respond and send out housekeeping. The road to the cabin is very steep and would require 4WD in the winter, but my sedan handled it fine in July.
Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2026
