This place was awesome!!! We spent the weekend here and had a blast exploring and just hanging out at the cabin. I think my favorite part was how comfortable the bed was. We will definitely come back

I spent 3 nights on my own - needed some reflection time! It was perfect. Great cabin and good hiking nearby. Also found a great lookout spot towards the top of the mountain which was great for stargazing! Jessica was the perfect host.
