8 / 10Excellent·Apr 2026
The cabin itself is very nice, though if you have bad knees be aware there is a spiral staircase to get to the bedrooms, main bathroom and hot tub. Great view from the decks, and the night sky was amazing.The hot tub wasn't very clean, but the managing property did send cleaners out mid-visit to reclean the hot tub. Also be aware the game room listed and pictured is a separate building at the bottom of the hill, about 1/4 mile away. Four wheel drive very recommended if you go to the game room, but worth it!

Loved the space.

Bedroom curtain falling off wall. One small tv for the whole cabin. We paid for early check-in, but portal didn’t open early to get in. We went looking for the remote arcade…. Drove around for 20 minutes and ended up on private property both times. When I messaged for help finding, I was referred back to the binder in the cabin, that we had already referenced. We never found arcade. Family enjoyed the rooftop.

Beautifully decorated and the views were equally awesome! Hot tub was clean and the coffee bar was a nice surprise! A lot of little extras like extra paper towels, cleaning supplies, etc were very nice also! Would definitely stay here again!
