We loved this house! Already planning another trip in the spring! We need more time to do stuff locally. The location was super convenient if you have plans for the Polar Expree (highly recommend). The host was amazing too, always making sure we had no problems.

This property is absolutely amazing. It is right outside of town but also feels like your own private getaway deep in the mountains. Such a beautiful cabin with a rustic feel but is totally modern. The creek running through the property topped it all off, the sound of rushing water outside and deep enough to take a dip and cool off. I would highly recommend to anyone considering staying. Will definitely be back!
