Comfortable cabin. Very clean. Enjoyed our stay. Plenty of room for the 4 of us. Very good communication from the hosts. No issues during our stay. Opportunities for improvement would be updated kitchen appliances and several pieces of the furniture could also be updated.

Mountain Top Relaxation

Beautiful property, a little tricky if you are not in a 4WD or at least FWD SUV. We spent most of our time on the porch and deck. Bedrooms/bathrooms were clean and comfortable. Would come back! and very comfortable.
