Whether you're looking to relax by the water, explore nearby mountain towns, or hit the slopes, this cozy riverside cabin is your ideal home base for every season.
*Allows pets with an additional fee.
Step inside to a warm and welcoming living room featuring a stunning stacked stone wood-burning fireplace, plush leather seating, a TV for movie nights, and a large sliding glass door that opens onto the deck—perfect for indoor-outdoor living. The country-style kitchen features granite countertops and everything necessary to prepare home-cooked meals, accompanied by a dining table that comfortably seats six.
The retreat sleeps up to 10 guests across three inviting bedrooms: The master suite is perched in the loft, overlooking the living space below and featuring closable shutters for privacy, a private Juliette balcony, and an ensuite bathroom.

Our favorite part was the bubbling stream in the front yard. Our second favorite part was the deer. We saw deer in the stream. We also enjoyed the firepit. And... oh yeah... we saw deer alongside the firepit. And in the front yard. And in the driveway. By the end of the trip, we were surprised when we couldn't see deer!
