As stated, the views are amazing. It's very peaceful to sit out on the deck, listening to the birds chirp as the sun comes up in the morning. I will say that the road is not as bad as stated by others, we were able to drive up in our Honda Accord. Just take it slow and watch out for the bigger holes. The only issue we had was finding the skyline trail behind the house. We definitely would stay again.

Wonderful place! Family enjoyed nice quiet with beautiful mountain view! Jacuzzi was plus! Will be back!

My family enjoyed our getaway staying in the Mountain View Cabin. Everything was clean and as described. Checking in/out was easy. The view was beautiful and the cabin provided ample seating to enjoy all the views. There are only neighbors on one side which provided a lot of privacy. The road leading back to the cabin can be an adventure but as long as you don’t meet anyone coming the opposite direction you should be okay. We meet several vehicles and only 1 was driving like an idiot. Getting into the driveway was not a problem but maneuvering in the driveway took some getting used to. The cabins location worked out well being close to pretty much everything. The national forest is right off the back porch so that allows you to be able to go directly into your hike or just do some exploring. Overall the cabin was really nice and we would go back.

The view was amazing! Secluded is what we wanted and we got that. It is an adventure getting up and down mountain, so you do have to plan ahead when going out. We decided not to be back past dark, but our preference. It was a trade off for the view and quiet cabin like feel. You do need a 4x4 to get up to the cabin. One lane at times, gravel and some paved, sharp curves. We got caught in a thunderstorm and it was tricky. The cabin was clean and inviting. We had what we needed to get started. Plenty to do if you choose. This was not our first time, so we did not souvenir shop, but plenty of shops!Train ride to see the deer and the conductor so funny! Friend's Trail was about 3 miles and great river views! Just be prepared for steep climbs. Walking sticks and good shoes a must. Paddle boats only available on the weekend, so keep that in mind. The spa was nice after the hike and a cold beer at the local brewery! We are already planning our next trip! The environment is still cozy, but definitely new places in the last few years!
