The location is at the very top... Plenty of parking and beautiful view. 4 days in a row we were visited by several black bears... Big daddy, mom and cubs, and some stragglers. Was very cool... And a little intimidating as well. Nice firepit area. Everything was excellent with the exception of some material issues. Many of the pots, pans, etc are in need of replacement. Most didn't have any nonstick coating anymore, or were warped to where the food doesn't cook evenly. Two slats of the blinds were broken off in the master bedroom. Last guests left chewed gum pieces on the headboard of one room and the cleaning crew missed it. Don't expect great wifi...it'll take awhile to catch up when streaming. Hottub is old... Jets don't work very well and once you removed the cover it didn't maintain the heat. Pool table had a tear in the cloth and there are only 2 normal size pool sticks. The tip came off one and there were no extras and no way to glue it back on...so maybe they should have a few more there. The temp in the house doesn't regulate very well in all rooms. There are so many drafts coming in through the cabinets, windows, etc... It's hard to set the thermostat. It could be 70-72 in one room, and 60-62 in the bedrooms. Downstairs was freezing and if you try to increase the temp in the rooms downstairs, it'll feel like 90 upstairs.
Those are the few nitpick...but some may matter to people. We would probably look at another cabin next time, but if you can overlook those issues, then this is THE PLACE. You can't beat the view, and the location is obviously a favorite pathway for the black bears. Great for large groups...as long as you don't mind the steep climb. Our entire family had the best week. Thank you.
