Definitely the amenities and view! Mountain View’s, Hot tub, pool, jacuzzi, sauna & the amazing double shower that I loved to sing and worship in! Such an amazing mini honeymoon! We will def be back!
Very clean, the bedroom was comfortable. The wraparound porch was wonderful. We were not used to driving up the steep graded narrow streets and driveway up to cabin. Bears everywhere!

Great place for vacation, very clean, quiet, great location. One of the best cabins we ever had. Definitely coming back.
Nice place, that needs maintenance. Refrigerator door has a sprung hinge so it may or may not stay closed. Stained glass door to deck has no doorknob. Shower doors are off the tracks. Needs an exterminator because stink bugs are everywhere, falling on the bed, crawling on the TVs, even had one fall in my hair at the bathroom sink. The drain stoppers in the bathrooms are both broken. At the prices charged, this was a disappointment.
Great stay at this cabin! Loved the hottub and pool table. Driveway is a bit steep but there’s a turnaround a couple houses down. Close to center of town, overall great time and would book again!
It was the second time staying at this cabin and it was just as good as the first time. Everything was nice and clean, and a great location in the mountains.
The cabin itself was amazing in cleanliness and accuracy of online description. The only reason I would not stay again is because of the drive through the neighborhood up to the cabin and the driveway.
Our stay was very relaxing and enjoyable. The pool table was nice, the fireplace was nice. The sauna was great after a cold morning of hiking and the hot tub was good after dinner to relax in.
Me and my wife came here for our honeymoon. It was fairly easy to get to and it was the perfect distance to the main strip but far enough to be secluded and away from everything. 5 stars.
