Charming Private Stay in the Mountains

Cabin was wonderful, just the right size for two people, but could comfortably fit a few more. Shower was spacious, pressure strong, water nice and hot! The scenery was gorgeous, a perfect little wooded getaway. We were in the area for a friend's wedding festivities and didn't get enough time to enjoy the cabin and property to it's full extent, so we'll have to come back another time to check out the hot tub, fire pit, and trails that looked like a lot of fun!The cabin was well stocked with supplies and everything we could need. Lovely propertly, clean, well maintained, and lots to do.We loved our stay, and you will too! Thank you David & Laurie!

I had a nice time staying at the cabin with my boyfriend. The location was very close to a wedding venue I attended in Topton, which turned out excellent! The trails on the property were also very pleasant to hike, and the views from the swing and fire pit were truly breathtaking.
