Cool mountain air drifts through the trees as you step onto the porch, the quiet broken only by the soft rustle of leaves. The scent of pine mingles with the faint crackle of the indoor fireplace, inviting you to unwind after a day on the trails.

We loved our stay here. Very quiet, pretty setting, great hot tub, comfy couch for relaxing. Keep in mind that the road to the house is gravel and very bumpy. Also note that the water has a strong sulfur smell, if you are sensitive to scents. Definitely recommend at stay here for a mountain weekend!
