The living room TV is streaming only, so you can log-in to watch your streaming apps like Netflix, Hulu, Prime, etc. The TV in the queen bedroom is hooked up to a DVD player only and has a selection of movies - it is not a smart TV and does not have cable.

During the winter months (Thanksgiving to March) access to the home requires 4WD or AWD.

NOTE: This A-Frame cabin is on the same property as our smaller Adventure Basecamp rental cabin. Each cabin has a private deck without view of the other, but they are in close proximity. There is cell service and wifi at the cabin, but you will not have cell service on the road leading up to the cabin from the highway. There is a ring camera at the front entrance area.

Nice, cozy stay in a great location
This cabin is in a natural, quiet neighborhood up the side of a foothill mountain. Enjoyable inside and out with a great porch and wood-burning stove. The bedrooms are spacious even in a small A-frame cabin. Cozy furniture and comfortable beds. The only thing I would add is a couple of small, soft reading chairs, rug, and a coffee table up in the main bedroom loft. Need a place to sit down up there so you can further enjoy the room and the view from yet another part of the cabin. Great to have a nice washer and dryer and other new appliances for the stay. Worth every penny.

AC
Installing an AC system would help on those hot days but at night when it cools off to the 50s it's nice.

Cozy A-frame
My husband and I enjoyed the location of this property. It was a beautiful house. The only amenities that I would include would be an iron and an ironing board. Also, you need to update your can opener. My husband and I purchased an iron and can opener at your local Dollar General while there. We would recommend your house, and I actually had a friend reach out to me today regarding it after my Facebook posts. Thanks!
