About the host
Hosted by Taylor
We absolutely love our dogs and the mountains. That’s why we put all our love and money into our cabin to share it with other good people with similar loves in life. I am a physical therapist, yoga teacher, my husband works construction. We have 2 beautiful children and dogs. We both lived in various areas of the country. What sets us apart is the love we put into our home.
Why they chose this property
We choose this small loop because we don’t get anyone driving by or noise pollution. We listen to water fall at night and have coffee on the back porch in the morning is priceless.
We have 2 amazing towns with plenty to eat, drink, and have fun doing.

What makes this property unique
We have a small river and waterfall in the backyard. Grilling burgers and looking out there is amazing. The cabin has lots of games and hidden gems to explore.
