This was the perfect cozy mountain getaway for our family. Everything about this cabin was great. The host did a great job of communicating and making sure everything was set up for us, and the cabin was very well stocked with extra linens and everything we could need. Could not have been a better time away with the family. Hope to come back in the future!

The house and location were perfect. We really loved the mountain area. The pictures of the lodge definitely do not do it justice. The house was perfectly located, clean and well stocked. So comfy that you almost feel like you are home. It was truly one of the most well stocked VRBO houses that we have every rented. Brad was also an exceptional host. He accompanied every need and provided valuable information that helped make our stay great. We hope to come back again in the near future.

Wonderful place! Rooms were comfy and the decor was so fun - all log cabin. Full kitchen with a wonderful dining table. The outdoor deck was to die for. We enjoyed the hot tub too a couple of times. Place was close to a small town called Cedar Crest and not far from the Balloon Fiesta area. I would recommend this place to anyone and also stay here again.
