What better way to wind down the busy holiday season than with a stay at this peaceful retreat! Located at the end of a gravel road in a rural enclave, this property has a quiet private feeling, although the owner is next door in case anything is amiss. Our stay was seamless: Communication was clear, the cabin was adorable, and supplies were stocked with everything from bandaids to a cocktail shaker. Oh, and did I mention the killer views? Couldn't ask for more. Thank you!
