What a great place! We spent Thanksgiving week there and cooked for the family and the accommodations were just perfect! I definitely understand why the ratings are so good!
Quiet and peaceful with amazing view. Loved the fenced in porches for my pup.a lot of tvs and enjoyed shooting pool.Place was clean. Communication with host was excellent!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful cabin. Spectacular views, all amenities you could possibly want, and great communication with the owner. Highly recommend!
The cabin, the views, everything about this place is absolutely perfect. Waking up to see sunrise and enjoying time together on the porch swing during sunset made our time absolutely perfect. I couldn’t recommend this place more!!!
Had one of the most relaxing vacations I can remember. My wife and I and our three boys home from college needed a place to relax and enjoyed every moment of our stay. Beautiful scenery wonderful property lots to do and so much fun.
Fabulous, well appointed, clean , mountain home. View is as described! Great mornings and even better sunsets! Make sure you bring everything you need, supplies and groceries, because there's not much around that's convenient, and you won't want to waste your mountain time doing grocery runs. A wonderful vacation!
The place was amazing! My son said it best. "This isn't like most VRBO it feels more homey from the minute you walk in" I couldn't agree with him more. Lovely cabin amazing views.

Response from VrboOwner on 12 June 2025
As you can see we gave her more than she expected, but then she goes on to bring over 12 people to a cabin with a 6 person maximum. Used all the extra blankets, quilts and comforter for people sleeping on the floor. She let her dog pee on the carpet and poop in the gravel driveway and never bothered cleaning up after the dog. Be aware that this is a problem renter when considering renting to her.
We had a great stay! The cabin was well equipped and comfortable. The view was fantastic! The property manager was very responsive although we really only had a couple of questions that needed answered. We would definitely stay here again!
