Scout’s Retreat is the mountain home you’ve dreamed of! Charming and warm with attention to anything a visitor needs to feel welcome. The decor is exceptional with mountain motifs, but tastefully updated. The hosts had a bottle of wine and a big basket of snacks waiting on us. We were invited to take advantage of anything we saw. We plan to rebook next year!

Our family of 5 enjoyed a week in this adorable, well-located cabin. The owner has decorated with vintage style wallpapers and a curated collection of paintings, some she has produced herself! We loved our stay.
