Weekend escape with the family was perfect. The home exceeded our expectations, awesome rental and surrounding area. The house was very clean and cozy. The bedrooms were perfect size and the master bath was an added bonus. Hot tub outside was super relaxing at night under the stars and outdoor fire pit had wooden stairs that lite up as you walked down keeping you safe.There was something to do for everyone in the family and plenty of room for gatherings. We would absolutely rent this home again!

Very inviting cabin. The hot tub was ready to go when we got there. Plenty of space for the 6 of us. We played pool and had a fire almost every night down stairs. Beautiful area and not too far to the supermarket for food and any items forgotten from home.

The property is great. The listing should advise that 4WD or AWD vehicles are highly advisable in inclement weather. Recommend owners stock the property with consumables such as paper towels, trash bags, dish washer pellets, laundry detergent and at least 2-ply toilet paper. These inexpensive basics would go a long way to making guests feel a lot more welcome, especially at this price level. The heat turned off our last night there. Since we were leaving that morning it wasn’t a terrible problem. It would have been a real problem if it happened earlier in our stay.

This is a beautiful home, secluded & quiet, with a very relaxed vibe. We enjoyed being there with Family for our 40th Anniversary. Though it had all amenities listed, some things don't work or aren't well updated. Not as well stocked with basics (soap, toilet paper, cooking oil etc) as we expected...wish we had known to better prepare & provide our own items. No mtn view early Fall, too many trees/leaves block. Saw no bears though!!! Overall would recommend for quiet getaway, but do prep.

Beautiful and peaceful home

Four friends and I enjoyed our time in the cabin. We particularly enjoyed the spacious kitchen (with every tool you could need), the hot tub, and that we each could have a room of our own. Playing fusball and shooting pool were a lot of fun. Oh and the stars there! It was incredible to see the stars at night there. (Most of us live in big cities.)
