Beautiful spot!

Spotlessly clean, beautiful views, gorgeous wood cabin, well furnished, great communication with rental agency. Tough road to drive up because of the steepness and sharp curves, but manageable once we got past the fear factor. We had a delightful stay!

Great place to enjoy local activities with Friends

The cabin is beautifully situated in the mountains, and feels secluded despite being a relatively short drive away from a town where you can readily get the necessities. A perfect base of operations for hiking and rafting which are within easy driving distance. Rafting is very reasonably priced. Good BBQ available on the deck, and perfect hot tub for relaxing after a day of activity.

Was a great weekend getaway. Property was really nice. A vehicle did get stuck in the gravel driveway due to a mix of loose gravel and rain. We enjoyed all the property had to offer.
