Awesome view!!
Timothy H. | Jan 2026
This was a great cabin. It would have been big enough for my daughter and family to stay but it was just two of us plus golden retriever so we had more than enough room. The cabin was very clean. I would recommend to anyone. Just be prepared for a bumpy ride to get to it and if it snows, we would not have been able to get to it. Very steep hills.
Dawn S. | Jan 2026
The cabin was spotless and so welcoming from the moment we arrived. It’s become our go-to place to stay, and we’ll absolutely be returning again and again.
