⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The cabin was so nice and comfortable. The property was just what we wanted. It was private, woodsy and beautiful!! Our dogs loved adventuring around the property. It was perfect for us and our dogs. We look forward to staying here again and again!!!

Cashiers and some hikes were an easy drive to get to. We had rain all day on Saturday but we didn’t mind. The large windows made it feel like we weren’t closed in with a wonderful view of the trees outside. Because of the rain, happy we had an all wheel drive for the driveway. We would stay here again.

As other reviewers have mentioned, it’s a little tricky to find but didn’t take us long. The check-in process was easy and we were provided with the door code before we got to the mountains. You won’t have service before getting to the house so make sure you’re clear on how to get in and how to get to the house in advance! The house was overall really tidy (some dusting could’ve been better) but for a weekend in the mountains, it was perfect for what we needed. The only thing I wanted to mention, the bedrooms are A LOT smaller than photographed so just be prepared. We didn’t mind because we were barely at the house with so much to do and see in the area! The patio furniture and fire pit were all excellent quality and the firewood being provided was a huge bonus. The house is well stocked with towels, soaps and detergent so that was also a huge plus. For the price and the proximity, we’d absolutely stay here again!
