The cabin sits on the very top of the mountain and looking out you can see far away. The view was amazing. The cabin was stocked with essential supplies. The rooms were big and the beds were comfortable. The host kept in contact to ensure everything was good. Overall it's an amazing place to relax and enjoy nature

Our family had a great time at Altitude with Attitude! There was plenty of comfortable furniture inside and outside to accommodate our adult kids as well as our grandson. We enjoyed making smores around the fire pit as well as taking in the beautiful views from the balcony. The kitchen table was large enough to not only provide enough space for our meals but provided the perfect place for family game time. The kitchen was well appointed with everything we needed to prepare our meals during our stay. The beds were all comfortable and we found the cabin to be very clean. We would definitely recommend staying here and look forward to a return visit.

You have a view of the beautiful river from practically every room! The home was just as advertised. Backing out of the driveway is tricky and a mirror would help, but besides that, our stay was perfect!

A relatively newer, modern style home stocked and decorated very nicely. Many extra supplies in case you need or forgot to bring which was not expected. Clean throughout and comfortable bedding. Plenty of outdoor seating overlooking the river on the deck and downstairs patio including hot tub and fire pit. Location right on the river is great, although it is on a main road as others have commented, so not secluded if that is what you are looking for but was no issue for us. Other reviews also noted goose droppings all around, but we saw none. A great stay that our family enjoyed!
