Perfect Winter Getaway!!
My husband and I loved the location and charm of this cabin. I spent many an hour sitting in the glider rocker in front of the window reading my book, while glancing up every now and then at the incredible view of the mountains! My husband, a keyboard player, enjoyed playing the piano. We also loved sitting by the fire while playing cards or just relaxing. Carol, the owner, checked in with us upon arriving to make sure we had everything we needed. We appreciated her communication. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. If you are looking for a remote, peaceful and beautiful winter escape…this is the perfect place for you!

Our favorite place
This was our second summer spending a week at the cabin. We just love it! There is so much to do in the area and the cabin itself has everything we need to enjoy our time. How quickly it has felt like our home away from home.

Great Cabin and Host
Thank you for letting us stay at your cabin. This is our 3rd visit and we absolutely love it here! Carol and Ken are excellent hosts and the cabin is beautiful. The cabin is secluded but close enough to access everything. We look forward to staying here again and sitting next to the beautiful fireplace.

Relaxing Spring Getaway
A really lovely spring getaway with some girlfriends and our dogs. The log cabin was very spacious and perfect to cook, hang out and just enjoy the surroundings and listen to the stream across the road. Location is great with nearby attractions and just serenity all around the cabin. We would love to come back!

Amazing Family Trip
We had such a relaxing time at the cabin. Our kids enjoyed sledding and playing in the snow - the cozy little cabin in the mountains was just what we needed to reconnect and relax. None of us wanted to leave. Carol could not have been more wonderful.

The cabin is warm and inviting, it feels like home. Short drive to near by towns for great hikes and groceries. The fireplace is the perfect way to unwind, look at the mountains and let the stress of work roll off your shoulders. Thank you Carol for a lovely stay, we can’t wait to come back!

Adorable and comfortable
I was so pleased with the view, the comfortable beds and the location relative to our festival. Everything was pretty clean (there were some unwashed dishes in the cabinet). The bathrooms were spotless. Very easy to find but spotty WiFi if you need it. I hear fiber optic is coming soon though so maybe next year will be better in that regard. We are hoping to come again next year and look forward to another great stay. Thanks Ken and Carol!

Perfect for our summer mountain adventure
Our family of 5 had a great time at the cabin. It was fully stocked with all we could need for cooking, cleaning up after ourselves, etc. Carol & Ken are kind, attentive home owners. We loved all the property had to offer- especially the babbling brook which our children spent hours and hours exploring. There was so much to do in all neighboring towns. We loved it!
