Everything about this cabin stands out. What a wonderful, warm place to spend Thanksgiving weekend.

Wow! This was an impulsive weekend getaway and we are already looking forward to a weeklong stay next year. I like to cook when I travel and I’ve been known to bring few of my favorite kitchen utensils with me, but this place has everything and all of it is high quality. The place is clean and dog friendly, and there are plenty of trails out back to entertain the dogs, which was an unexpected bonus. And after a few minutes in that sauna, we slept better than we’ve slept in months. looking forward to our next trip already.

This property is so beautiful. It was nice to sit on the deck and just look at the mountains in peace and quotes. The actual home itself is beautiful, clean, efficient, and smells like a wood cabin. I think I found my new yearly vacation spot. I love being out in the middle of nowhere and this place is it.
