Private 40-acre Top of the Mountain Cabin with Stunning Panoramic Views, Deck

10/10 Excellent

"We greatly enjoyed our stay! The views from the cabin were stunning and the cabin itself was so cozy and comfortable for our night there. Waking up to the sunrise in the morning was incredible and the views of the sunset, stars, and Milky Way at night were fantastic. It was quiet and peaceful and the cabin itself was beautiful and comfortable, with everything we needed.The drive up to the cabin is as described on the listing and we had no issues following the host instructions. I'd echo what some other reviews say and plan to arrive before dark for ease of navigating the road to the property. It is a bit of a steep/windy drive up. Dana was timely in sending any information for check-in/check-out and responsive to any messages/needs!I'm just sad we only stayed one night! Looking forward to returning for a longer stay."
