The cabin was perfect in every way! This was our early family Christmas and it was wonderful! This cabin was beautiful, comfortable, spacious, cozy, fun. I loved watching the 2 bear outside. They did not bother us nor we them. We watched one in the tree eating berries and the other one waiting for it to finish. It maybe the trip more special. I will definitely will recommend cabin to family and friends.The host was so easy and friendly to work with. When I had questions, she answered in a timely manner. Perfect is all I can say! Thank you for making my Christmas vacation so special.

We stayed for 5 days in September. We fell in love with the quite area ontop of the hill. Sitting on the porch having coffee everymorning and even had visitors it was the highlight of our stay. Very clean, easy to communicate with owner. We cant wait to book another week for next year.

We loved our stay! The cabin was super clean, spacious, and comfortable. The cabin had everything we needed with a minor exception (total of 4 forks wasn't quite enough for us). We saw more bears than we could count. Up in our truck bed and sniffing the trash receptacles multiple times.We really enjoyed our stay.

Siblings getaway
We had great time staying at the cabin! Cabin is as described and pictured. We didn’t get a chance to use the hot tub but it was ready for us. We had a lot of bear sightings, even cubs! What a treat. We arrived in the night so the drive up was a bit challenging, so I’d suggest arriving before it gets dark.

Beautiful location
Nice cabin, easy check-in, 3 levels bedroom and bath on each level which was great for our 3 member group, 5 TV's, steep and narrow road but worth drive, just be careful. You will see bears.
Cabin was clean and in great shape. Bed and couches not the most comfy, but were ok for our short stay. Cabin is not as secluded as pictures make it seem. Plenty of other cabins around. Several bear frequent the area. So close the to everything we wanted to do.We had a great time

⸻Amazing Stay – Highly Recommend!
We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful home! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how spacious, clean, and well-appointed it was. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out and relax, yet the cozy atmosphere made it feel like home.The location was perfect—close to everything we wanted to do while still feeling peaceful and secluded. One of the highlights of our trip was spotting a bear, which made our stay even more memorable!We were initially a little concerned about the drive up based on some reviews, but we found it to be completely manageable—nothing to worry about at all.Overall, this home exceeded our expectations, and we would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a wonderful getaway!

The Property was nice and cozy!
Beautiful Views & saw a ton of bears.
The drive up is a bit dicey and was not a fan of the beds. (Specifically the basement bed) it seems to just be a piece of foam and no mattress) but we had a great weekend!!
