Perfect family vacation place!!!
This was our first family vacation ever, and I know that puts alot of pressure on the situation, but this place more than delivered on amazing!! We spent alot of time on both porches, admiring the spectacular views. It was beautiful. There were deer on the property that my kids had never seen, and that alone, made them so happy. It was very clean, clear labels in multiple places that answered many questions so we didnt need to bother the owner too much, and when we did have questions she was quick to answer and was very friendly and answered all our questions. It was an amazing vacation that we will never forget. Perfect! You could see snow on the mountains, the hot tub was on its own deck and very nice, as was the whole of the house. 5 stars!!! Loved it and will definitely stay there again!!!

Grand escape
We enjoyed the view from the balcony. Home had all the essentials. Only negative was the dirty linen. But I just washed them, thank goodness for the washer and dryer. Overall it was a great place and will book again.

Everything was pretty comfy and clean for the most part. A little outdated furniture but for the most part it gave it charm. Some dishware were broken, probably from previous guest but it looked like it was fixed by the owners with some tape. We loved the view, it was breathtaking,something

Cabin experience
Loved seeing deers outdoors, in the morning. Peaceful and quiet place to stay with family. Didn't risk being outdoors when it was dark due to risk of bears, elks and deers in the area. Loved our stay in this cabin....

Highly recommend getaway!
My husband is retired Military and I am a social worker. We love to get away from time to time sometimes with some of our adult kids and grandchildren, and at other times alone! Lorena is a blessing and a wonderful host! She is very attentive and was available when we needed. The cabin is wonderfully equipped with all that you will need, besides the groceries, of course! But you have plates, silverware pans, and even Cookie sheets which made my grandchildren very happy because we could bake cookies! The property is nestled on the corner beside other properties, but the neighborhood was extremely quiet. We had the wildlife come up to the cabin, which my grandchildren also enjoyed seeing. It truly was wonderful to stay at this cabin and comfortable as well. I believe in finding out for yourself how majestic this place is, I definitely recommend it. And I will also be returning. Thank you, Lorena!

Wonderful stay with beautiful views
We had a wonderful stay! The property was a a few minutes from town and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the hot tub every morning and watched the sunset from the upper balcony each evening. The views were beautiful and the king size bed was so comfortable. Well worth the price if you book your stay during the week. We will definitely stay here again.
