The cabin was very sweet and cozy for our weekend away with friends. Our kiddos had a blast playing in the game room and exploring the property. The hot tub was under repair while we were there, but the host graciously refunded us a portion of the rental upon request. The cabinet itself could use a few more utensils and cooking items that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to be back.
Great location, close to everything fun the mountains have to offer. Chad is an excellent host with over the top communication, your home is beautiful thank you so much for hosting us! WILL DEF BE BACK

We had a wonderful time at this enchanting mountain cabin. Plenty of room for our group and very comfortable. The owner was very nice and communicated well with us. The surrounding area was breathtakingly beautiful. Lots of nature to explore and enjoy! We would definitely stay again in the future!
