Great Spot

Great spot for our family’s last minute get away. The view from the balcony was fantastic and the cabin nice and comfy. We had a few minor issues while we were there, but the property owners were very responsive and quick to help. I would recommend this cabin and would stay here again. Bonus points for being pet friendly!

Stay-cation

Nice location away from town but not secluded from everything. Very quiet area. Everything was comfortable and clean. The pool table provided extra entertainment for everyone. We stayed in most of the time and utilized all the spaces. Beds were comfortable as well.

As good as expected

Perfect little cabin to enjoy a relaxing time up in the Mountains. The entrance to the community is beautiful with the golf course, although they won’t’ let you walk around unless you pay to play. The kitchen could really use an upgrade but it has everything you need and the ovens are top notch. Owner and property manager were extremely responsive and helpful. Would def stay again.

Family fun, mountain views

The layout of this cabin worked well for us, with game room, kitchen and living areas all in the central area. Bedrooms are huge! Kitchen is well-stocked with cookware. Sunrise views and starry night skies from the deck were fabulous. A few issues were quickly resolved by property management company.

A Trip we will never forget!

First and foremost the cabin overall is gorgeous and was very clean. The view is just as described, it can't be beat. We woke every morning to watch the sunrise, and got to witness the beauty if the full moon over the ridges at night. Overall coziness of the cabin was great. Our only complaint collectively is the firmness of the mattresses, while they are memory foam and very nice king size beds they were a bit firmer than we are used to. That being said this is definately a property I would and have been highly recommending,and will be looking to hopefully secure for any future trips we plan here.

All about the details…

Positives: The view was amazing and the house itself was very roomy. It was nice being able to park in the garage. The game room and having access to smart TVs was also nice. The fireplace was gas, and on a timer which made it very convenient to use. The details: The house could use a deep clean. The floors felt dirty, there was a stale smell to the house, the towel bars and toilet paper holders were broken in the bathrooms, and the gas grill knob was missing on one burner. The outside landscaping could also use an overhaul as the view was obstructed in front of the bedroom windows from the overgrowth of the vegetation. Also, it was a little tricky using the nice & updated kitchen due to the lack of cooking/baking pans, measuring cups, washcloths, etc. After checking in at a separate location, the drive up was on a paved road but was very steep and was tricky when two cars passed. Be sure to know you will be responsible for removing the trash after your stay. And if you plan on washing clothes or making meals, be sure to pack your own spices, paper towels, laundry detergent, and dishwashing supplies.

The cabin was clean and in a great location! The owners were in contact with us when needed. Very pleased with the drive up, there are some cabins that are a very scary drive up…. This one is not too bad! Definitely recommend!

Good times but bring a trimmer

Location and cabin are fantastic and we had a wonderful time. Only negative would be the very apparent lack of upkeep when it came to the landscaping. Overgrown trees and shrubs were encroaching onto the back deck and covered many of the home's windows which impeded views from rooms. Otherwise, place was great!

Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. We had an amazing week. The pictures don't do the views justice.

Overall had a great stay. Beautiful view from the home, and even seen bears just outside. I do wish the fireplace worked. My husband tried and we never could get the flames to catch. Heated pool is listed but i didnt get a pool key, or any info of closure for the season etc. However, we had a great time in the creek down the road. I was also so pleased that all rooms had box fans.
