Pros - beautiful location, friendly neighbors, good sledding area nearby, close to Monarch, very spacious. The only real con was the heat varied quite a bit throughout the cabin. We had to use blankets and wear hats one night at the dinner table while my daughter’s bedroom upstairs was very warm. We would stay here again. The check in process was easy.

August Mountain Vacation

We loved this cabin in the woods. There’s so many places to explore at this location. There’s plenty of room for family and everyone to have their own space. We loved how remote it felt, the cabin had everything we needed.

Great cabin with 2 beautiful creeks

This was a perfect cabin to stay at for a great get away from reality! The creeks were amazing to listen to as we sat on the porch and enjoyed the fresh mountain air. It is close enough to town if you need anything but cabin is away from it all. Just the vacation my family needed.

Wonderful cabin & well appointed

We were two families of four and this cabin worked well for us. The creek behind the cabin immediately makes you destress upon arrival. A little hard to find at night, so make sure to follow the directions provided. We will absolutely stay here again.

Lovely, well equipped cozy cabin

The cabin was perfect for our needs. The property managers where attentive and helpful. Close to Monarch (4 minutes). Not too far off the main road but must have 4wd in winter as stated in info. Great experience.

Winter Wonderland

We came to this home a week before Thanksgiving and we got to live our winter wonderland dreams. Just enough snow that the kids were able to sled and build snowmen the whole trip, but not enough snow to keep us snowed it. Not too far from town, but very peaceful.This home is a place we want to come back and see during Spring/Summer.

Excellent accommodations except the bridge down to the stream was roped off. That was disappointing as we come to the mountains to see water flowing.
