10 / 10Outstanding·Jun 2026
This is a beautiful cabin and a fantastic location! The hosts were wonderful and quick to respond to any questions. The view is great and we really enjoyed the indoor wood burning fireplace. Can't beat its proximity to town! Our only comment would be that the kitchen accessories (Pots/Pans/Utensils, etc.) could be upgraded. They were all a bit old and heavily used. Lasty, be prepared for a steep climb to get to the cabin. It is at the top of the hill but provides great views and a private location. Well worth the climb!

Cozy cabin for the two of us. Had some trouble getting up the driveway in our 2 wheel drive pickup (tires did not grip loose gravel very well)

We loved the cabin! It was beautiful and very quiet and relaxing. Loved being greeted by the robes and the glass/drinks, I immediately put mine on and settled in! We will definitely be back!
