well stocked property
As a girl that likes to be prepared, I appreciate all the tiny attention to detail that made the stay here extra comfortable - from a well stocked kitchen to extra hanging space in every bathroom for towels. We had one need in our trip that was very promptly met. Would absolutely stay here again, thanks!

Pleasant stay.
Overall our stay was pleasant. Check-in was simple and easy. The drive way is steep but manageable, would definitely be concerned if it there was ice or snow. Kitchen was well stocked with essentials for cooking, except a stock pot so if you're cooking for 9 like us, you might consider bringing one. Depending on your level of comfort, the beds may be uncomfortable for you because they are harder than some but I was okay with mine. Not far from "town" at all and within reasonable driving distance to most places. The overall cleanliness was good, no critters that I found. We had to sweep the floor when we got there and the oven was less than desirable and would benefit from a deep clean. But other than that, everything was clean. There were dip pouches and cigarette butts all around the fire pit, which isn't the owners fault but the fault of previous guests not caring about others property. Pro-tip: Wal-Mart does deliver to the residence (for now anyway).

The actual house was nice and clean. The house is smaller in reality vs the pics. The main issue is driveway is steep and the driveway is small. i would classify it as dangerous. There are no guardrails

Pros and Cons
We had a great time with family at the cabin, but I was a little disappointed that there wasnt a Christmas tree or any other Christmas decor. But that's not a big deal. All the beds are hard as a rock, I slept on the couch during our stay. When we pulled out the sleeper sofa there were potato chips in it. But everything else was really clean. Be extra careful on the steps inside the cabin because they're really narrow! I slipped and fell all the way down and broke my tailbone and hit my head pretty hard. It has a gorgeous view and was perefct for our family vacation except for the few negative things I mentioned.

The house was great for gathering together for playing games and conversation. Three bedrooms and bathrooms allowed for plenty of space and privacy. The kitchen was well equipped with everything needed for staying in for a meal. The view of the mountains was gorgeous from the deck and fire pit.

Perfect cabin for friends and a great view
Quaint clean cabin with a view. The outdoor area is lovely and private with a gorgeous view of the mountains. Perfect for a few couples that include living areas on all 3 floors. The bedrooms were all very clean and comfortable, and a bathroom on every floor was a plus. The only thing I would mention is that the driveway up was quite tight for a larger vehicle such as a truck and takes an experienced driver to maneuver. Parking is tight, especially with larger vehicles.

Peaceful getaway from the city
The home is tucked away at the highest peak and the view from the house and the firepit was breathtaking. We were able to fellowship, cook our own cusine, and appreciate our company. The BEST part was spotting a family of black bears that made the experience feel like a zoo. Made our whole trip. The only piece we recommend for this property is drive a 4x4 to get to this location, as the roads have steep inclines and sharp turns made us start praying before reaching the location. Also do not drive there at night, many of the high mountain roads are not well lit. The location is a MUST rent and experience. Just travel in a 4x4 during daylight

We had an amazing time! The stay was very comfortable and exactly what we expected. We saw more bears at the VRBO than at the park. Our kids had an experience that they will remember forever!

We had a fantastic stay at this cabin. We had enough room for the 10 of us, enjoyed the grill and fire pit and hot tub. No complaints at all!! Beautiful property.

Took a family trip to the mountains and couldn’t have been happier with this home! The view was beautiful, the front porch was a fun hangout spot and we enjoyed s’mores by the fire!
