Gino is an amazing host. The cabin was clean and the decor was lovely. Firewood was even provided! We had everything we needed and had an absolutely wonderful weekend. The area was beautiful and be sure to look up at the sky at night. I will definitely keep this property in the back of my mind when staying in the area.

A magical place! Located at the end of a road and at the edge of National Forest land, it is beautiful and quiet, a wonderful place for rest and refreshment, as well as hiking. The cabin is as cute as can be, furnished with everything we needed, and the host was available for any questions. Our dog loved it too! We've stayed there twice and hope we can go back.

Cute cabin!! We enjoyed being in the mountains !

We had a blast! Having no internet/cell service was tough. A little far off the path from the city but still enjoyed it!

This is a fantastic property and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing stay in the mountains away from busy city life. Gino was a perfect host with just the right amount of support. He was there if we needed help. He even came out to meet us on the drive in to make sure we found the property without a hitch.

Cozy holiday getaway

We had a wonderful time staying at this isolated, beautifully restored cabin. Gino greeted us warmly by making a fire. The location was prime and our dogs enjoyed exploring the forest behind the cabin. The clawfoot bathtub was amazing. We will definitely be back!

I am happy you both enjoyed your stay here. I am blessed to live here year round and enjoy the isolation on a daily basis. Yes ... the clawfoot tub is amazing. I have one in my cabin also and always enjoy a good soak after a long hike.

Perfect weekend get away

Our weekend get away was great! The little cabin was perfect! Beautiful back yard with a flowing creek. National forest behind the cabin for endless hiking. We brought our 2 dogs and they got along great with The owners dog, Nigel. Cute little restaurant/bar down the road. We would defiantly stay here again.
