Loved our weekend stay at the Dark Sky Escape. Cabin is cozy yet spacious with everything we needed for our stay. Very clean and comfortable. The property is up on a hill and surrounded by trees...a true hideaway. Great communication and clear instructions throughout the stay. Will definitely be back.

“Our Little Cabin”

Communication with the host was super quick and easy. The cabin is perfectly located along what seems to be the main route to most major attractions. Everything inside was clean, well-stocked, and clearly prepared with care and thought.One thing to note: the walkway from the driveway to the cabin is pretty uneven and can be slippery when it rains. It was manageable for me and my daughter, but more challenging for my mom, who uses a cane. To be fair, the listing does mention that it’s not wheelchair accessible, which usually means uneven ground—we just underestimated it from the photos. She made it up and down just fine, just slowly. And truly, that was our only issue, which feels like a fair trade-off when you’re staying in a cabin on a literal mountain.What I adored most about the property is how quickly we felt at home. You know how some places are so sterile you’re afraid to touch anything, or so grimy you don’t want to? This struck the perfect balance- clean, but comfortably lived-in. One small thing really stuck with me: height marks on the back door trim, likely from the original owners. It made the place feel personal and loved. I hope they never sand it away.In short: if you’re questioning it, just book it. You won’t regret it.

What a beautiful cozy place to getaway!

We loved how cozy and clean and organized everything was inside of the home. You can eat out, however you are well equipped to make a dinner at the house as well. They had dog bowls for our pups, the beds were so comfy. The views were absolutely amazing and you’re not too far from feeding the cutest little deers, souvenirs, gem mining, kayaking, hiking, atv rides, cherry springs, dollar general, and tons of little places to shop or eat, our dogs loved running around the mountain side, it was very peaceful and I will be back again.

Exactly what my wife and I were looking for; a getaway where time wasn’t an issue. We star gazed at Cherry Springs and from the side yard. Elk are just an hours ride away and this time of year they never disappoint.

It was a cute little cabin in a beautiful setting. We had two Floridians along and they were excited to see the snow.
