The property itself is great and the owner (Jim) was a very pleasant individual. Nice expanse of trials to the river & stream. A couple of things to note. Although the cabin was very comfortable, the bed in the master bedroom was flush with the south wall. This meant that one of the people in the bed would have to crawl over the other one to get to the bathroom in the night. Neither my wife nor I wanted to be in the landlocked position so we took turns with one of us sleeping on the couch.
Our initial plan was to use the cabin as a base for day hikes into the mountains. However, nearly all of the accessible trails in the area were for motorized vehicles (motorbikes, atvs and off-road rigs). We went out for a couple of hikes but it wasn't pleasant being on trails with atvs running by. Additionally, our dog (a golden retriever) was ill-suited for the vegetation in this area and picked up loads of burrs. No burrs at the cabin, but tons in the forest. So if you bring a dog, make sure it's a short-coated dog. Lastly, the neighbor to the immediate north of the cabin was building his structure and had a chihuahua that was attacked by a dog from a previous guest. We were cautioned by Jim to make sure our dog did not venture over to the neighbors' property because he was carrying a sidearm and was prepared to shoot any large dogs that ventured onto his property. Our dog is very friendly and gets along with all dogs, but it is a bit unnerving to know that if he had wandered next door, it could have had a poor outcome. So, I would rate this property as a five-star for a family that wanted to hang around the cabin (which was very relaxing for us) or for a group that wanted to use motorized access to the forest. Just not our thing.
