Great Place

Very clean, internet good, comfy king bed (hard to find these) and as advertised ... EV Charging (40 amps - J1772). Be sure to read the documentation when you get there - it allows you to use the upper patio. Unfortunately due to rain (and in part, cold) we weren't able to enjoy it for more than a few minutes.

A bit of Heaven

We wanted a nice getaway in a cabin to relax and explore. We got way more than we bargained for. The rental is the entire lower level that is wonderfully equipped and decorated. Very warm and inviting. The road leading up to the home is quite a beautiful drive I just suggest arriving before dark in order to familiarize yourself with the surroundings. We absolutely loved it!

Dream Getaway with breathtaking views.

Amazing place! Loved every minute of it. The view is above and beyond what you expect. The cabin was perfect. It was clean, well decorated, comfortable, well-stocked, we had no complaints about the cabin whatsoever. No stains or smells on the pillows or mattresses and the sheets and blankets were plenty and soft.A word of caution for parking: We drove a Chevy bolt that was not able to make it up to the upper level parking where the EV charger was. A mid-size or larger suv would be beneficial. It also helps if your tires aren’t bald. :)
