Very nice accommodations. Easy to get to and off the main road which is nice so that you can get around the mountains. Amenities were very nice. Even coffee was available. Beds were comfortable and the living space was plenty for a large group if you needed it.

The property was very pet friendly. We enjoyed how spacious the cabin is and the kids were well entertained with games down stairs. The view is nice and the location is great for exploring the area.

This host thought of everything!

Truly a home away from home! We had everything we needed for a fantastic visit. We cooked steaks on the grill and smores on the patio. The entire family enjoyed the hot tub, the ping pong table, and the arcade game. We also had fun playing Uno, Yahtzee, and Monopoly. The view was great and the neighborhood was quiet and peaceful.
