"Amazing cabin in a beautiful serene setting. Cabin is custom built with unique detail. We were disappointed with the grill situation - we were not able to use it, as it was filthy inside and falling apart. We had purchased nice steaks and chicken to grill and had to change plans. Hot tub was very nice, cabin was very clean. I would recommend the owners provide more cookware, spray cleaner for kitchen cleanup, and also maybe stock cards and games for rainy days or families. The fire pit and chairs are great, but would recommend stocking a bit of covered firewood, lighters, a flash light, and bug spray. Overall I would recommend the cabin - it is beautiful!"

"My husband and I loved this little cabin. It’s quiet and very private. We definitely would stay here again. Things you should know, 14 wheel or front wheel drive would probably be best. 2The water is from a well so it’s a bit sulfur smelling but it did great things for skin and hair! 3The oven racks are rusty, so get aluminum foil so you can get a take and bake pizza from Miguel’s. It’s delicious! 4If you don’t like steps, you’re in trouble 5You must have BBQ from Thatchers and a show at the pit house. The owners were immediately old friends. 6If you’re looking for “convenience “ this is not your place. It’s removed and wonderful and needs to stay that wayAbout the house The bed was big and very comfortable and it was so nice to have the hot tub accessible only from the loft. It made it very private. Two bathrooms is definitely a bonus. The “stairs” and rails are a great touch. It’s definitely easier to come down backwards. There are some basic maintenance needs but I have those at my house as well so you’ll be fine. Go do something outside like ride that steep ass chair lift. Hike down if you can. It’s magical."
