Step onto the deck walkway leading to the entrance, passing by the inviting hot tub area. Inside, the cabin exudes rustic elegance, featuring a fully stocked kitchen and beautifully designed living spaces.

Did not use hot tub, did not go on second floor. Name changed? Thought it was still Buddy’s Bungalow. Been there many times over the years with children and grand children, this was for our 50th wedding anniversary! We did get to see some snow! Enjoyed the peace and quiet!

The cabin was so cozy! So comfortable with adorable Bear Theme in every room. The beds were extremely comfortable. I usually wake up a few times a night but not here! Slept like a baby. Wonderful outdoor area to enjoy. LOVED drinking coffee on the porch and listening to the creek.
