Fantastic cabin - don't hesitate!
We LOVED this cabin and it was perfect for our group of 12. The inside is adorable and there is a back deck with a table and beautiful views, we loved hanging out there! It's walking distance to Chambers which is so great, and 2 of the bedrooms are in a separate in-law unit which was perfect for us as we had a few folks with jet lag who wanted more quiet.

Beautiful but so noisy
This is a beautiful log cabin in a great location. Nice living room and deck areas for gathering. However, the house was so very noisy. Especially the upstairs main room that doesn't have a ceiling. This was disclosed in the listing. The bathrooms also left a lot to be desired. Overall, this would still be a good house for the right group.

We had a really lovely time. The home was comfortable for our family and the kids played outside pretty much the whole time. Great location as well! Quick communication when I had questions as well. Very well stocked with basic kitchen items…thank you!

Awesome place!
The location is perfect and the house was beautiful! Loved this place and highly recommend!
Space was great and as advertised, however the beds were very uncomfortable and there weren't a lot of the amenities you'd expect in a home at this price. It was a place to sleep and hang out, but we're happy to be home and in our own beds!
My family and I enjoyed our trip here, it had recently just snowed so there was a lot of snow in the back yard to play in which we enjoyed. The only thing is that we believed we were going to be able to use all of the garages but we were only able to use one
