What a find! We have stayed in many places. This was the most beautiful, serene, and relaxing. We thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub after a long drive, looking out toward the majestic mountains. The quaint, rustic decor was exquisite. Our hostess, Chris, was so welcoming, more than accommodating, and an attentive communicator. We would definintely stay here again.

This is an intriguing and interesting cabin and we thoroughly enjoyed the southwestern decor/feel. While our stay was relatively short, the cabin's location to the surrounding attractions is perfect to reach everything in short order. Our hosts were genuine and helpful. The property is neat and tidy, easy to get to and reflects that it has been well kept. We will be returning to visit with this wonderful couple and site once more and potentially even more.

Great location for hiking and close to town for shops and restaurants. Amazing hospitality from the hosts! They helped me find a place to charge my EV onsite, which was a big time saver. The accommodation is the perfect size for one or two people.

I was looking for a quiet place with a mountain view for a solo retreat, and The Prime's "Retreat" was the perfect place! All of Christine's touches in the space made it a cozy and interesting place to spend time in. It was very clean and contained everything you might need and then some! Christine is very easy to communicate with, and the best part of my stay was the warm welcome, literally! I didn't arrive until evening and it was cool, so Christine turned on lighting and the heat just before I got there. I highly recommend staying at The Retreat if you're in the area, and I will be back!
