We loved the privacy of the cabin and the woods to walk in. We could let our dogs run loose and play. The entire house was clean and very nice.
Our dogs loved running on the property and the view was spectacular! It was also convenient to where the elk usually were, but unfortunately, the elk were not very cooperative this year

We loved the convenience to the Elk.Everything was clean. It was equipped with anything we needed. Communication was great with host but we needed nothing during our stay. Would definitely stay here again. We would plan better though as there it's really remote from shopping or eating establishments .
