Loved our stay!

We loved everything about this cabin. It was in the perfect location and was close to everything we wanted to do. We loved the cabin itself, from the inside to the outside, and our girls loved it as well. Our favorite part was seeing a bear our very first night right below the cabin! We will definitely be booking this cabin again in the future.

My husband and I stayed for a weekend recently. The cabin was beautiful and quiet. It was stocked with everything we needed. Views were beautiful!! The host was very friendly and helpful with great communication. My husband accidentally left his backpack at the cabin and realized it when we were at the airport. They graciously mailed it to us. Highly recommend staying here!

From a fully stocked kitchen; game room, complete with a pool table and arcade games; to a fire pit and hot tub, and beautiful mountain views from the deck and swing, this cabin has it all!

Perfect cabin for our little family of four. The kids loved the pool table and having their own king sized bed. Our only disappointment was that we didn’t see any bears.
