Cosy A-frame in the trees
This really is a gorgeous cabin, in an incredible setting perched up in the trees. There are skylights above the bed where you can fall asleep with the trees and stars above you. You can sit on the deck or in the hot tub in amongst the forest. It really is idyllic for an escape and we loved our stay. The host was incredibly responsive, and helpful. However, there are some practical things to be aware of if you’re planning your trip. The cabin is on the smaller side; we were on a two week trip with big suitcases and there was no where for them to go. They were just out in the main living/kitchen space and we felt like we were tripping over them, so pack light! Note there is no hanging space or clothes storage. There is an AC unit, but it’s a stand alone unit that’s been put in as an after thought, so doesn’t fit with the rest of the well finished cabin, and again takes away space.
