Christmas stay

My husband, son, and myself stayed at the property for our annual Christmas getaway and not only was the house perfect and very accommodating, the checkin process was very smooth! The beds were very comfortable and loved chilling in the jacuzzi or playing a few games of pool. I would 100% recommend this place to stay at!

Fabulous stay!

This was a beautiful home complete with everything you'd ever need for a wonderful family vacation. The kitchen had every gadget needed to cook at home, including an outside grill. Plenty of space in all the rooms to spread out or gather together for meals. Recommendations for activities were much appreciated!

Awesome experience!

Now that I have been to the mountains I can tell it is quite an experience to live and everyone should at least try it once. In fact, one of the things that make your experience such a good one is the place you stay, and this cabin does an excellent job in welcoming you. It has everything you need and it perfectly furnished for comfort!

Memories made

We loved the area because the neighbors weren't too close and the house felt private but it was a close drive to lots of activities. We enjoyed this vacation so much because we were able to spend it outdoors with the kids and they had so much fun. No one was on devices or electronics except down time at night ;) We made a lot of great memories on this trip!!!! We'd love to come back!

Very nice family getaway in the mountain

Our family of 6 stayed at this well-maintained mountain cabin for 4 nights. House was well-equipped with everything and the kitchen was well-updated with nice appliances as well. Kids enjoyed the hot tubs, but we only wish the hot tub was hotter as we could not control the temperature and was getting cold at night times. Everything else was fantastic!

Super clean & beautiful view

We really enjoyed our short stay at this beautifully kept home. Everything went smooth & perfect. The house was well equipped & very clean. Beds were comfortable which is really important when you have bad backs. There were many places to relax. The hot tub was awesome with the perfect view of the mountains. We felt very safe knowing that only residents could come into the area because of the security gate. We will be back for sure!

Wonderful place!

The property was beautiful! Well maintained, gorgeous views, beautiful kitchen, plenty of space, and a nespresso machine! I would consider staying at this exact same home. My only concern was the cameras on the porch near the hot tub. It felt a little uncomfortable and invasive! Other than that, I give this place a 5star!

Cabin in the winter

We had such an amazing time. The cabin came well equipped for all our needs! Beds were comfortable and so much to do. We enjoyed playing games at the house and cooking. We also fell in love with the sweet donkey down the road (lol). It’s a steep drive so have an equipped car in the snow. Thankfully it wasn’t snowy for us. We loved the place and would come back
