Amazing views!!
This was a great little cabin. It was up the mountain a bit, but the drive was not scary at all. The cabin was in beautiful condition and perfectly clean. The view from the deck was stunning! We really enjoyed our stay. The only suggestion I would make to potential renters is to bring your own deck chairs, if possible, as there is only a picnic table to sit at on the back deck. We would have loved to be able to lounge out there and take in the beautiful view. But all in all, a great place to stay.
