We had a wonderful time at this enchanting mountain cabin. Plenty of room for our group and very comfortable. The owner was very nice and communicated well with us. The surrounding area was breathtakingly beautiful. Lots of nature to explore and enjoy! We would definitely stay again in the future!

Renting from this host has been a 100 percent positive experience for me! The home fit all our needs, as well as being quiet and well outfitted, the hot tub was a plus on many evenings. This was my first long term rental and I was pleasantly surprised at how well it was managed by our host. He was quick to respond to questions, moved quickly on a small repair that was necessary, and generally made us feel welcome. Would definitely rent again! Barbara

The cabin was very sweet and cozy for our weekend away with friends. Our kiddos had a blast playing in the game room and exploring the property. The hot tub was under repair while we were there, but the host graciously refunded us a portion of the rental upon request. The cabinet itself could use a few more utensils and cooking items that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to be back.
