Perfect for a family
Exactly as advertised! Perfect for our family of 4 + 2 grandparents. Comfortable and abundant living room seating. Pool table offered great entertainment as well. Bonus was it had kids plates and a high chair that we didn’t even know about when booking. Close to town while still being a bit isolated, great combo. Would definitely book again!

Perfect family getaway!
This cabin was absolutely beautiful and the perfect size for our group of 10. We booked this cabin to stay since it was close to the polar express. The additional directions given by the owners navigated us through the mountain roads without confusion. Upon arrival, the cabin was clean and looked exactly like the pictures. As a bonus we got snow flurries out first night which made the trip even more special. Prior to arrival the owners communicated all check in directions hours before check in and cabin contained a book with additional house instructions. Everything was so convenient and well planned that we never had to contact the owners. This was definitely a memorable family trip and we will be booking again soon!

Family weekend getaway
Was a very pleasant weekend. The home was amazing, it even had a pac and play, a high chair and a toddler play table and chairs. The beds very comfortable, the hot tub was much needed after a day of sight seeing. Which was planned with the help of the information provided by the home host. Highly recommend.

We loved the seclusion of the cabin. The hot tub was a perfect way to enjoy the sunrise in the morning and a perfect way to end our day. The cabin was very clean and furnished with more than what we needed for our 5 nights. We will definitely stay here again.

Very nice cabin with lots of room for the family. Very nice layout. Everything was very well organized. The host was very responsive to the questions I had. Location to town was very good. The advertised 5 acres is true but most of the acreage seemed to be above the cabin site. We did enjoy hiking up the cut road for exercise.
