The property was a perfect home base for our hikes and exploration of the region. Great place to watch the sun rise with even more spectacular sunsets. The night stars with my feet kicked up on the porch ended the evenings each day. Clean place, basics covered, fair price. We will be back for sure.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re glad you enjoyed exploring the area and winding down under the stars on the porch. Those sunsets never get old! It means a lot to hear that you had everything you needed for a comfortable stay. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!

Very cozy and beautiful. My girlfriend loved the cabin and so did I. I only spent about an hour or two in the cabin because off a family emergency, but the times I did I enjoyed it. The only problem I had was I feel like it should be know that the road to the cabin is very rough and I recommend a 4 wheel drive vehicle.
