Fantastic Getaway
We had a wonderful time. Everything was clean with the exception of the master jet tub, but it just needs the jets blown out properly. Hot tub was perfect for four adults. Beautiful views (though you can see some condos in the distance). So nice and quiet. Fireplace was appreciated. Can’t really complain! Beds were comfy and linens were clean. Perfect location if you want to be close to the major surrounding towns but have a lot of privacy. Overall 5 stars!

Friend’s Getaway
We visited with another couple to enjoy the Fall weather. We were thrilled with our lodging- the fireplace really enhanced the ambiance of the setting. We enjoyed the outdoor fire pit. Requesting the wood delivery through our host made it all super easy. We even had an opportunity to spot a few bears. We highly recommend

Perfect mountain retreat
The home was lovely! Very clean and well stocked. It was located in a serene spot surrounded by wildlife. We enjoyed sitting on the deck watching the deer and birds. We will definitely return!

Fantastic Place
We loved the quietness of the cabin. It is super clean and comfortable. We were able to watch deer from the back Deck. If we ever come to the region again this is the cabin I will rent. Thanks for a first class experience.
