"I'd rate this 4 1/2 stars-- a great place to get away in the mountains and with beautiful views, but must keep in mind that you are getting a mountain cabin so without some of the luxuries. The good: a view to kill for, and with the sun and clouds turning it into constantly changing panorama; 15 minutes from hiking; very clean and comfortable; two very comfortable queen beds. Totally isolated, sing to your heart's content. The minor faults: There were some things that you would normally...

"Gravel road was not very motorcycle friendly and if pulling a trailer it's very tight getting turned around and backing up hill to property. But cabin was awesome!!!"
