Excellent Cabin and Location

We had a group of five leaders meeting at the cabin for an offsite work meeting for a few days. It was even better than the pictures showed! This was an excellent facility for us - lots of room, beautiful setting - felt like it was remote, but was only 15-20 minutes from restaurants, etc. We would definitely stay there again!

Great property!! The property was very spacious for our family of eight to enjoy the holiday weekend. The kitchen was fully stocked and enabled us to cook our holiday feast. The views of the mountains and valley were awesome, especially after we received some snowfall. We would definitely stay at this property again in the future. Thank you hosts!!
