the scenery was gorgeous the views from the cabin were spectacular I will say they are not joking about how steep the driveway is. my husband and I both drive manual and we were in first gear the whole way up that is the only way we could get up that hill.

There was a wonderful scrapbook about the history of the home. It really felt personal and inviting to read through it.
