Snow Day

Great time enjoying the snow! Neighborhood plows so roads cleared up quickly (enough for 4 wheel drive at least). Comfortable house with warm fireplaces and the hot tub was a hit. Bunk room was perfect for our young kids.

The cabin was nice and comfortable., not as clean as I would prefer. We loved sitting on the porch every morning watching the birds.

Wonderful weekend

My wife and I spent 5 days here. Very clean!. Off the beaten path but still pretty easy to get to. Paved road all the way. Everything functioned as it should. Fair warning, there is no cell service at the cabin. You will need to use internet calling. We especially enjoyed the hot tub and fireplace in the bedroom. Great cabin, great location, great weekend, great owners!

Great Little Cabin

This is a great little cabin, and we enjoyed our stay over the Christmas break. We especially enjoyed the master bedroom and hot tub. The beds and couches were comfortable, the hot tub was well maintained, and the grill was a nice bonus!We spend a week in a cabin in the mountains every year, so we're probably a little more picky than most, but there are a few things that kept it from being a five star cabin for us. Things weren't as stocked as we would have hoped. The day we arrived we went ahead and bought hand soap, paper towels, and toilet paper, because it was clearly not stocked for our week stay. Also, I feel like the number and quality of towels needs improvement. Our family of 5 struggled to have enough towels for showers and the hot tub. A crock pot/slow cooker of some kind would be nice as well.All of the beds were a bit wobbly as well. The bunk beds were a bit unstable as the kids climbed on the top bunk and the queen bed rattled against the wall a bit, but the biggest issue is that the master bed is pressed against the light switch and makes a loud squeak if anyone moves on the bed. It was a challenge to maintain discretion at times. I ended up wedging a washcloth between the bed post and the wall on both the master bed and the queen bed, and now I'm wondering if I removed those before we left. Hmm...I feel like all of these are very small issues that could be easily resolved. In any event, they didn't prevent us from having a wonderful vacation!

Me and my friends had a great time at this cabin. It was very clean and well supplied. The check in process was very simple and we got in without a problem. There isn’t too much to do around the area, but the mountains surrounding the property are gorgeous.

Overall nice cabin.

Had an amazing time with just a couple issues. First the hot tub had WAY too much chlorine, to the point we both ended up with chlorine rashes. Second was the grill ran out of propane while cooking second night. Gated community was extremely nice and we would stay again.
