This 5-star retreat is ideal for mountain bikers, outdoor explorers, couples, and families looking to relax, recharge, and reconnect with nature.

The cabin sits on a lush one-acre lot with 175 feet of private creek frontage—just ten feet from the expansive screened deck. Mornings here are best spent sipping coffee in one of the cozy egg chairs as the sun filters through the trees. Afternoons are for napping in the gravity lounger, and evenings are for stargazing by the fire pit. We provide a complimentary bundle of seasoned firewood to help you ease into mountain life from the moment you arrive.

Inside, you’ll find two well-appointed bedrooms—one with a king-size memory foam mattress, and the other with two twin memory foam beds—each with luxury linens, ample pillows, and thoughtful touches that help guests settle in and feel at home. The living space is warm and inviting, reflecting the cabin’s bike-friendly theme and local charm. The fully equipped kitchen makes cooking easy with everything you need to prepare meals after a day on the trail.
