Everything we could’ve hoped for!
The cabin and property are simply beautiful. We had perfect weather and our only regret is that we had to go. Everything was cleaned and well maintained. We will definitely be coming back in the future!

Cabin on the Front
Gathered to watch the harvest moon and partial eclipse, but were fogged in. We still enjoyed the experience, the cabin is small, well equipped, cozy. Nice outdoor spaces.

A retreat from a hectic world!
I was looking for a small cabin with a mountain-top view.
All those desires were met in this cabin, and more!
I would highly recommend giving it a try!

Much too much.
This place is fantastic. The location and view can't be beat. The solitude and peacefulness are more than one could hope for. Out golden retriever, Jake, loved the woods and the freedom as he and Kath hiked the trails. Would love to see this again with the fall foliage.

Solitude with a View
We've never been to a place so secluded and peaceful. To boot the view was beautiful. We were concerned about no A/C but realized being so high on the mountain afforded continuous cool breezes keeping us comfortable. Wishing the master bed was larger as it kept for tight sleeping quarters for us. Overall...so pleased. Already booked for next year!!!

This is my second time staying at the cabin with my two German Shepherds. My brothers stayed with me a couple of nights too. It is such a unique wonderful cabin and I love it. My dogs really love it there too.
