The cabin was clean and fully stocked with kitchen stuff. The hot tub was at a perfect temperature and very peaceful on the back deck. We got to see a family of bears every night. The host responds in a timely manner. When we first got there the hot tub wasn’t hot. I messaged the host and he responded soon after stating it’s because the cleaning service just cleaned it that morning and filled it with cold water, so give it a few hours. Would recommend this cabin to others

This cabin is very comfy and cozy with a very welcoming front porch. If you are looking for a cabin where you can catch a glimpse of a bear - this is it! Bears every day and even some mommas with cubs! We had a wonderful time.
