The dining area seating 4 can easily seat the whole family for a nice mountain inspired meal. When you’re ready for down time in the great outdoors, relax out by the fire pit, enjoy the beauty of your surroundings and breathe in the fresh mountain air while drifting to the sounds of the nearby gentle creek.

Very clean little cabin. Wonderful firepit area by a babbling stream. Only complaint is that the living room area really only seats three people-there is a loveseat and a chair. Plenty of outdoor seating but if you have more than three people and plan on spending any time indoors, you might want to look elsewhere. Otherwise, it's wonderful.

The house was impeccably, clean, appropriately and attractively furnished, and kitchen cabinet doors were labeled with contents, which was very helpful. Beds were comfortable, and the porch was divine! We lost power during a storm, but the backup generator clicked on immediately, which was a lifesaver. We will rent this cabin again!

What a great place, clean and peaceful. The fire pit and creek are nice to relax at and plenty of room for the kids to roam. 10/10.
