Nice cabin. Not as isolated as it looked on the listing but the street was quiet. Lots of curves. In the winter you will definitely need 4-wheel drive or chains. The hot tub needed servicing but the guy came right out when I called. Good wifi and roomy enough for my grandson and I. His Dad visited over the weekend. We enjoyed the cabin and luckily missed the flooding that happened a few days after we left. We would rent this cabin again.

Don't judge a book by it's cover

From the outside, this property does seem like a cabin. But once you open the front door, it's actually a beautiful, well-designed home, full of light. Super-clean and full of amenities. Deer and elk right in the yard! 2nd stay here and will definitely stay again.

Lovely spot for 2

Very nice small cabin. Great for 2 but could be comfortable for 4. Bring everything you need. We didn’t even find salt and pepper. Worst feature was the master bedroom mattress. Seemed like a cheap mattress with a foam cover that didn’t make the grade. Unless the mattress is a deal breaker, highly recommend

Tucked away

While the view and the wildlife were awesome there were several issues with the cabin. The main one being there was no wifi. I would have liked to know this ahead of time so we could have planned ahead of time. There was no light in one bathroom and very minimal towels provided. There were minimal dishes provided which resulted in having to wash dishes nightly. Overall it felt like there was no pride of ownership which was evidenced by the numerous cracks in the walls.

The location was in a quiet neighborhood with plenty of deer sightings. The hot tub was the perfect touch. Although overall clean, there were plenty of cobwebs inside the cabin. The water pressure in the guest bathroom was poor. There was also no wifi connection, so we could not use the television, which required wifi connectivity. Luckily, our phones were able to connect to our carrier. Also, we had to figure out how to use the hot tub, as the buttons had no designations and the "information book" did not specify what the buttons were for. We also found the stairs a day later, again because there was no specific info in the book, which would be an important safety feature to know about. Would stay again if these minor details were attended to.
