Great cabin

We really enjoyed our stay at this cabin. Everything was clean and it was a tranquil, beautiful location. Hot tub and fire pit are great. We had a wifi issue but host worked quickly to correct it. One thing to note is that the drive to the cabin is steep, with lots of turns.

Beautiful Home

We found the home to beautiful and well stocked with dishes, utensils, cookware and bakeware. Loved all the homey touches and comfortable furniture. The views are stunning, but the road up is crazy, 4 wheel drive or all wheel would be best for sure as they suggested, we had 2 SUVs and made it up fine. The trash situation was an issue, I would suggest having 2 barrels outside or one large one, especially for guests staying a week. All in all we made great memories and enjoyed the seclusion of the cabin and ability to slow down. One final note, be careful on the stairs it’s very easy to misstep and fall coming down the upstairs set especially where the stairs change color and direction. I’d suggest a watch your step sign or something to draw your attention to that section. Stay to the left to help avoid a fall.

Red Bird Retreat

The drive to the cabin was a little scary, but we found it easily with the instructions we were given. The cabin was gorgeous, and stocked with everything we could want. The wifi was adequate, but the bedroom downstairs didn’t get it very well. Something to extend it downstairs would be helpful. We’re hoping to come again next year.

Great view

The road is curvy but the view is fabulous. We had some issues with the garbage and toiletries at the beginning because the house keeper made a mistake. Carrie the owner was able to send someone over a few days later to fix the issues. Over all the stay has been a great experience and I'd recommend it to others.

Great home, great views

Host was very communicative before and during our stay. Home was well stocked and in great shape. Pictures were 100% accurate. View, hot tub, grill, fire pit, appliances…all worked well. House had everything you need to host a group comfortably from kitchen tools to wine glasses to books and games for those rainy days. Small mechanical issue with the home was quickly fixed and the owner very graciously mailed me back a left item. The trek up to the cabin is steep and curvy, so be prepared but it’s well worth the journey!
