We had 5 cars with plenty of room for parking, game room and hot tub were perfect. Everyone was excited to get back to the cabin for the nights, will likely book again. ##### Corey S. Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### James B. Aug 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Scenic Getaway We absolutely loved our stay at the property. It's quite and nice and perfect for our family of 4\. The views are gorgeous and place is really put together well. Our only complaint would be that due to the amount of bugs outside, you can't really use the outside space without putting on bug spray. It would be nice to have the portion with the hot tub screened in so it could be more useful. It's a minor complaint overall and I would recommend the place if you're looking in the area. ##### James B. Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### wendy F.

We got to be in nature and see wildlife. The view was incredible! With a few repairs, this property could be 95% satisfaction. We all had a wonderful time from grandparents to grandsons! ##### wendy F. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Rachel F.
