Wonderful location for the perfect ski weekend

Our family loved our stay in this perfect, cozy mountaintop retreat. The location can't be beat as it is literally the closest home to Laurel Mountain Ski Resort. The place had everything you need for a great time away, including wonderful little touches such as the wood stove being prepped for a fire upon our arrival. The owners' communication was exceptional from checkin throughout our stay. We are already in the process of booking another stay at this lovely cabin.

Check-in was very easy, and the kitchen was well-stocked with lots of thoughtful extras. We also appreciated the separate water dispenser and extra jug. The only drawback was that after second day, the sink and toilet water started turning brown. Other than that, the home was very comfortable and made for a pleasant stay.

Cabin in the woods for Christmas...

The cabin was as advertised. Cozy, inviting and the owners even set-up a Christmas tree for our visit. It snowed one night, only adding to the festive mood. The glass-fronted wood burning stove was a real treat.We would definitely stay here again and encourage others to do so.

Great weekend away

The cabin worked perfect for our family and was very close to skiing. Everything was very clean and could tell recently updated. Wood burning fire insert was great and relaxing. Hosts were great to deal with as well and were able to get a fire started shortly before our arrival since it was chilly. Would recommend for a nice weekend getaway in the mountains. We plan on booking again.

This was our second time staying here and we love it more every time we come. It feels like home and they have so many games and things to do if you don’t want to leave the house. They are always so friendly and they respond instantly if you ever have to message them.

Great place to unplug

Had a great stay with friends. Great place for hiking. There is a forest right next door to the property. WiFi is a bit spotty, so this is a place to unplug. The hosts are very helpful and prompt.

This place was absolutely awesome! Great getaway from everything for the weekend! Was close to all

This cabin was wonderful! The place is spotless. It was very cozy, comfy and spacious. Every thing there that you needed. We hung out on the deck during the day and at the fire at night. Very peaceful and quiet, true to the website exactly! The host was awesome as well. We will definitely be going back there again!
