The house was located in a very beautiful area surrounded by nature. We were lucky to see a mama bear and her five cubs several mornings (once right outside the kitchen window). It is a quiet area, and the driving directions they sent were helpful. There were lots of spiders on the porch (again, out in nature), and even a few in the house. The hot tub we great. There were lots of fun things for kids to do at the house. My only negatives were very minor. There was only enough dishwasher soap for one load and there were no extra garbage bags in the kitchen. One of the other adults in my group commented that is was surprising things that help us keep their home clean weren’t provided. I’d rather they provide that than toiletries like shampoo. The information leading up to our stay was sent in multiple little emails. One big one would be have been better and easier to find info when we needed it. We went to the pool on the weekend (it is a community pool about 10 minutes from the house) and we’re told the homeowners hadn’t renewed their membership for the year. When we called to ask about it, we were told we could pay to get in and would get reimbursed since it was the weekend. We decided it wasn’t worth it with our party size. It was disappointing though. Other than that, we liked the location and space. It was clean and had dishes for a large group. The beds were comfortable. Great place to stay with kids!

The cabin was very nice! But with 10 people staying there they need to empty the garbage at least half way through the week. And the air conditioner kept leaking I had to call them three times but they were quick about sending someone out to look at it. Plus we saw a ton of bears!!!!

My husband and I brought our 5 kids here for spring break. It was a wonderful and restful stay. The drive up the mountain was a little anxiety inducing, but overall we loved the cabin!
