Cozy cabin with amazing views and lots of character! Hiking everywhere you turn and many wonderful places to eat, shop and explore just a short car ride away. If skiing is your thing this is a perfect location.

Kim was extremely responsive and helpful throughout the booking process and during our stay. The house was as advertised, and perfect for my group of 4. Easy drive to both Belleayre and Plattekill mountains. Thanks again!
10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2022
We loved our stay in early October. The fall foliage view was awesome. I wish we could stay longer but kids had to return to school. The kitchen and the living room was awesome to mill around. The long dining table was just right for our family! There were plenty of dishes and silver wears, pots and pans. All the appliances worked well. Grocery stores were not too far. Overall a well maintained and convenient cabin with a great view as backyard for kids to run around.
