About this property

Secluded Log Cabin Retreat on 5 Acres and Stunning Long Views

Secluded Log Cabin Retreat | 5 Acres + Stunning Long Views

Escape to Mountain Crest, a quiet mountaintop retreat designed for guests who value privacy, nature, and a true getaway experience. Set on five secluded acres, this authentic log cabin offers sweeping panoramic views—up to 100 miles on clear days.

What You’ll Love
• Total seclusion on private acreage
• Expansive long-range mountain views
• Cozy, authentic log cabin atmosphere
• Wildlife sightings right outside your door
• WiFi + Satellite TV (when you want to reconnect)

A Different Kind of Stay
This is not a resort or a polished luxury rental—it’s a genuine retreat. We’re a family sharing a place we love, kept intentionally natural. Instead of manicured lawns, you’ll find open mountain terrain where deer, birds, and other wildlife roam freely.

To help preserve the peaceful environment and protect the wildlife, hunting and the use of firearms are not permitted on the property.

Inside the Cabin
The interior is warm and inviting, with massive log construction that creates a cozy, grounded feel. It’s an ideal space for a romantic getaway or uninterrupted time with family—simple, comfortable, and intentionally removed from the noise of everyday life.

Seasonal Access (Important)
Winter brings incredible beauty—but also real conditions. A high-clearance 4WD vehicle is strongly recommended, and tire chains may be needed depending on weather. The gravel access road helps preserve the privacy and setting, but it is not suitable for motorcycles.

Why Guests Choose Mountain Crest
Guests don’t come here for luxury finishes—they come for the stillness, the views, and the feeling of having a mountain to themselves.

If that’s what you’re looking for, you’ll feel right at home here.

Exactly what we wanted for the weekend. Pet friendly, quiet, fantastic outdoor space and had anything we could have needed. Stairs inside the cabin were too tricky for the dog, but the host was great and told us all of that in advance. The stairs did not hinder how awesome this cabin was and it is very well maintained. Would 100% stay again!

2nd Year with Amazing Privacy

The hosts recently updated an already spacious log home. It is a quiet hideaway with virtually zero traffic. This has been our 2nd spring trip there and it was even better than last year with the updated. Great rental!

Fabulous!

This property was fantastic! It was a real nature retreat, we did not hear any traffic, only birds and nature. A few mornings I saw deer on the property, and so many birds! The peace was exactly what we had hoped for. The cabin was stocked with everything we needed to cook meals and relax. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful Mountain top cabin

This place was well described, from the cabin, to the stairs, the driveway, and the fire pit. Would definitely recommend! Quiet, peaceful, clean, and lovely. I would like to come back someday. I can see why the guest book has repeat visitors. The stairs are interesting, but manageable if you’re pretty mobile and not disabled. And be careful when standing in bedrooms, beams are a little close if your a taller person:)

Nice and relaxing!

My family and I have stayed in many VRBO's, and this is probably the most well stocked place we stayed in if you are wanting to do any cooking or grilling. Clean, and pretty secluded.
