Property was well maintained and clean. The owners were super responsive and even took a late night call when we couldn’t find where to go due to rain and dense fog. Loved the views and the space. Plan to stay here again.

Secluded & Great Views
If you want a quiet getaway in the woods (on top of a mountain actually) then you will love this property. The views are breathtaking from the front porch. The house is nice and comfortable. I will say the couch has seen better days, but the indoor fireplace was a nice touch. There is not wood provided for the outdoor fire pit FYI. The property managers were responsive and helpful to our questions. I will caution the drive leading up to the house is tricky and somewhat difficult to find-with huge drop offs to the side of you. And then there’s the driveway to the house. Very steep with a curve and again a drop off to the left of you. Definitely recommend 4wheel drive or a big car that can handle it. It was a bit daunting. Other than that, we had a nice stay and the dogs loved it too!

Wonderful Stay! Truly in the Mountains.
We would stay at this property again-everything was great! The only minor suggestion I have, is to ask people to please clean up behind their pets in the fenced in area when they leave so that it’s clean and clear for the next guests. We’re thankful for a place where people can bring their fur children, so that the only issue we had. Otherwise, great stay all the way around!

We had an amazing time at this cabin, peace and quiet. This cabin had everything you need to get away, kitchen was amazing, beds comfortable, and all the kitchen gadgets you need to make you comfortable. DVD heaven, no internet but it was great being unplugged from social media. I recommend this cabin to all that need to unplug. Reading and drinking coffee on the front porch swing was de relaxing. We will definitely be back. We had no problem getting to this cabin. We love our getaway!!!! Thank you to our hosts.

Don’t let the first time up the hill scare you. What awaits at the top is worth it! Beautiful view, peaceful, relaxing, I could go on and on! I swear they have thought of everything! They even had crates, bowls, and beds for fur babies! I broke my heart to leave, but we will be back!

Loved the cabin but getting to it was not that fun. The gravel road is more than just a driveway. But the cabin was beautiful and the view was amazing. Both bedrooms are upstairs but they are comfortable. If you're not intimidated by narrow and gravel roads its a great place to stay!

Amazing cabin!... If you can make it up the driveway.
There were four of us with our little dogs. The cabin was perfect! Clean! And had anything we needed for cooking. The view from the front porch was spectacular. The only problem was that we were in a Chrysler Pacifica and on the first try we could not get up the driveway. I took my dogs and walked up the steep hill. The two guys got out and pushed the car so that my friend could drive it up the hill.. If it had just been me and my husband we would not have made it. That would have been horrible because the cabin is so cute. They did add a fence around the property so that if you do have a little dog it makes it even better because they cannot escape from anywhere but underneath the front porch steps. Again, I highly highly recommend this cabin if you can get up the driveway. (Gravel steep and a hairpin turn).. but once you're at the top, you do not want to go down!! There are DVDs for you to watch while in the cabin. We wanted to watch a a cable show as well as our Astros which we had issues doing so. Thank God my husband's nerdy and crafty so we got to watch both! Love this place.

Quiet and peaceful
Such a great getaway!!! After a slightly frightening climb up the driveway (I am not used to driving up a gravel road) we were SO pleased with the cabin. The cabin was sparkling clean and adorable. The kitchen was stocked beyond what we thought we would have. The couch was comfortable, beds were comfortable and so was the porch. Also, I brought my dogs with me and they were able to play in the fully fenced in yard. We had cell service (AT&T) the whole time. Although there isn’t any WiFi to stream movies, there was quite a collection of DVDs to keep us occupied in the evenings. I would absolutely stay here again!!!!

Great place. Difficult to get to last road loose gravel and directions are difficult in dark. Said there was firewood provided, but there was not any. I think you have a bee issue inside porch or eves. Lots of humming. These are minute. Picky statements. Really nice place.

What a wonderful place to stay! I chose it for location, cost (slightly less than comparables), and the look. Who doesn't want to rent a cabin in the mountains for a relaxing, peaceful getaway?! Although maneuvering the driveway to the cabin was a little tricky, the view from the property is well worth it!!
