Great cabin with room for everyone to have their own space if needed. Only issue we had was arriving at night there was no lights going up the steps. One family member fell. Once inside and all outside lights were turned on it was fine.

Good Cabin. Small issues occurred.
Be aware of steep driveway with limited turn around space. Garage door opener did not work. Left message for assistance with audio/tv system and had no return call or acknowledgement. Missing sink stopper. Limited towel supply for having a hot tub available.

What a view!
This home is absolutely amazing! It has everything you need and more. The drive up to the house is a bit unnerving for the first few times, but the views are completely worth it! The outside deck with the hot tub and fireplace is amazing!! The house was spotless and spacious while still cozy. I would definitely reccomend this property to others!
