Besides offering many great features indoors, Mountain Laurel Lodge offers outdoor experiences too! Step out onto the lower deck and soak away your cares in the brand new 4-person hot tub or relax in the large hammock, both overlooking the year-round mountain views. Or, enjoy roasting marshmallows at the fire pit just beyond the drive. Rustic laurel benches add to the ambiance! Also, early risers, be sure to experience the beautiful sunrise over Willow Valley while rocking on the main level covered deck, or relax in the porch swing with a good book.

Great cabin, well appointed and as described. The access is as advertised and 4 wheel drive is recommended, but possible to get up the road without during the summer. Baird’s Creek bridge was under construction adding to the daily commute, but still manageable. Overall great stay. Responsive to questions.

the house and location was amazing! so many fun activities and so cozy! be careful in the winter as it can get real slippery. we had to walk up the hill since our cars couldn’t all make it up (some AWD, some not). they were flexible and extended our checkout, which is very kind of them!! we really enjoyed our stay!
