Overall, I had a lovely time here-just what we needed to start off 2022; relaxed and refreshed, filled with that good ol’ mountain air!
This cabin was great! Very clean (minus a few dishes here and there, but nbd-point is there we’re dishes and silverware I didn’t have to bring with me), upstairs beds were comfortable (as were the sofas), firewood was provided to keep warm, and lots of room for the dogs to get their energy out and smell ALL the new smells! Good, easy hiking if you go UP the hill-it levels off a little from the direct incline of the driveway.
Pros: open concept, all working appliances (oven/stove, microwave, propane grill with cover, coffee maker, fridge, etc.), and people have clearly left some non-perishable items behind for the next guests to use, such as olive oil, random spices, salt/pepper, so you don’t have to bring or buy most basics as they’re already there. Hot tub was warm and relaxing, not chemically harsh or off putting at all, but smelled of chlorine(if I don’t smell chlorine, I’m not getting in a strange hot tub lol). We didn’t touch any of the kid stuff, but there’s a whole kid corner with assorted toys and things in the loft area, which I’m assuming is great for families with young kids. Nice porch views, etc.
Cons: that driveway leading up to the cabins is NO JOKE. We ended up leaving a day earlier than expected as neither my husband nor myself wanted to downhill slalom in our SUV back to the main roads in the rain. She isn’t kidding when she says you need 4WD/AWD. I couldn’t imagine doing that as a commute or on any regular type basis. We left to get groceries one time and then stayed put until we left, as you should do when escaping to the mountains for a weekend. Also, the stream pictured is along the main road, not right outside or even a quick walk away as the ad suggests-I had no desire to fish, so it had no effect on me, but that may be important to know as you’re considering booking.
That being said, traversing the area being our biggest and only con, we really enjoyed ourselves and would 100% go back (pending a paved/less Jeep commercial-type driveway :)
