My wife, dog, and I stayed here for a week. We wish we could’ve stayed longer. The drive up the side of the mountain wasn’t that bad at all (stayed in low gear in my pickup truck the entire trip up — make sure to read the signs). The house is well equipped. The bathrooms have some small toiletry items in case you forgot something, which we did!Plenty of books, board games, music options, activities for everyone in the house. We really enjoyed the cool evenings around the fire pit. The hot tub felt great after long hikes on trails nearby. Waking up to the clouds filling the valley below left us in awe. The views from the back patio were mesmerizing. Plenty of food places and things to do in town/surrounding area. If you’re looking to escape from reality and relax to the fullest, this is the place! Thank you for having us!

The place was wonderful. Beautiful and well kept interior and exterior. The views off the backporch was something magical for the family and I. Sunsets were something you did not want to miss. Clean space. Clean Bathrooms. We liked the decor. The space and seating was suited for my four person family. Game room downstairs was great and it led straight to the ground patio, firepit, and jacuzzi. Essentially private location with trees surrounding the property. Only one neighboring home and it was by no means inteferring with views or experience. We went in March so the leaves were not on the trees. And we missed the snow. We can only imagine how nice it will be during the summer and fall.The drive and climb to the cabin was fine. Starts off paved then transitions to compacted gravel. If you come from flat lands, then you'll need to get acclimated to slopes. That said, we were driving a 4 door Honda Accord hybrid and it managed just fine. If you've never driven gravel roads with switchbacks, just take your time and take the turns wide enough to see where you're going. There were signs saying it too! From the main road, it was more paved then gravel. To summarize, we loved the place and would definitely go back.
