The cabin was the perfect location to see a band at the Caverns. I had a little trouble with getting the initial check-in instructions but after that everything was fine! Beatiful setting and plenty of room!

Hidden Haven
A gem hidden in the mountains! This home is pure mountain bliss! Nostalgic, bringing back childhood memories of trips to the mountains with grandparents. The night sky was celestial! The sounds of nature sang to us in the night and awoke us in the morning. The cabin was VERY clean and peaceful. The beds provided a comfortable and refreshing sleep. We had a chance to greet Lydia as she was taking her morning walk, she is very pleasant and joyful!
