We had a a fabulous time! It was very cozy roomy! We had one maintenance issue on Labor Day but a repair person was there first thing Tuesday morning. Anytime we had a question we got a response very quickly. We hope to return next year.

My brain still can’t make sense of how such a simple drive led to such stunning views. The cabin was beautiful and so much more spacious than I anticipated. The views were stunning and everything felt comfortable and homelike. The kitchen was well-stocked with needed supplies for a night cooking in, and the multi-level design of the home created private spaces while experiencing togetherness in this luxury escape. We were fortunate to have amazing weather, but I’m sure it would have been delightful regardless of Mother Nature’s plans. I really enjoyed the visiting birds, deer, and other local wildlife, all of whom let us observe them while respecting our space too. My only regret is not booking four more nights! Thanks for a great experience.

Had so much fun with my family! The view was amazing, but still close to town so if you forgot anything, it’s a quick drive to the store to pick it up.
