To reach this modern mountain cabin, you'll travel along paved mountain roads with a few twists and turns. The driveway is short and gravel, so while 4WD or AWD is recommended, it's not required. We also suggest arriving before dark on your first visit to get comfortable with the community roads—the journey there is all part of the adventure! ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Computer monitor - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Designated smoking areas ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In the mountains ### Things to do - Hiking/biking trails nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Unit size: 1,837 square feet ## Similar properties ![Smart TV, fireplace, printers](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/123000000/122190000/122184800/122184779/8d0df8b1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Unique Mountain Cabin Retreat with Hot Tub & View Old Fort - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-23&endDate=2026-02-24&selected=122184779&PinnedHotelID=122184779&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![House (3 Bedrooms) | Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/120000000/119500000/119493800/119493800/9f7c7c7b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Hot Tub & Mtn Views: Modern Old Fort Hideaway!
