Our stay was perfect. The house was simple with everything we needed. It was perfect for a weekend away to just tuck ourselves away on the mountain. The hot tub was fantastic after a cold day out! You will want all wheel/4 wheel drive to get to it. Troy, the host was fantastic. Very responsive and attentive…not that we were in need of anything but he was available if we did. The starlink worked great! Had no connectivity issues at all and was able to stay in touch with family back home. If your looking for a nice, simple getaway for you and your loved one…don’t need all the bells and whistles of something fancy but has everything you need to be comfortable while staying close to town, I recommend it. We will definitely be back!

Honeymoon getaway

Me and my wife choose this place for our honeymoon, It was great. Troy was more than accommodating and made sure we were comfortable and had a great stay... This is a cabin so expect some cabin lifestyle adjustments but it’s a beautiful spot and we are more than satisfied. Will definitely be booking again.
