Short weekend getaway for me, my wife and grand daughter. Cabin was very clean and perfect for the three of us. We were looking for a quiet peaceful getaway and it more than met our needs!!! Will stay again in the future!!!
We enjoyed the stay, the place was amazing and well kept; Just like the photos. The manager was willing to work with us on payment when my bank declined the initial deposit and they even worked with us on a late checkout so we had a bit more time to enjoy it. I would definitely recommend this place. We will be coming back soon.

Thank you for staying with us and for being great guests!
This home was absolutely perfect! We stayed over Thanksgiving and had plenty of room in the kitchen to do all of our cooking! The beds were all very comfortable, and the home was so clean! Our kiddos loved all the room to play, and our teenager lived in the hot tub! 10/10 recommend
It is very apparent the moment you walk in that extensive work has been done to remodel and update the entire property. You truly feel like you are getting good value and see the pride of ownership. The patios and decks are where you want to spend your time and they are very private. The occasional visits by Elk are also a plus :) Give this one a look!
The property was awesome. The house was very clean. The only thing that I noticed that could have been a little bit better Was the pots and pans/things to cook with , there wasn’t a lot of pots and pans. And the ones that were there was not real clean. Also the microwave, even on full power just took a lot longer to warm things . I definitely would stay here again. The host was awesome very easily to get in contact with..
