The house was great. Clean, warm (winter visit) and plenty for my family and I to do. Game room a huge plus with my family. Owner has thought of everything someone would need. Great communication from owner. We will return.

This cabin felt like home, only better! It was very comfortable and spacious. The kitchen had a great stock of all the necessary items to cook full meals. My boys loved the provided snacks as well! We stayed over Christmas and Dave made sure to have lights on the deck railing to spread Christmas cheer the moment we pulled into the driveway. I was concerned about my son driving up alone and he assured me by sending step by step directions. He also checked in on us via text when weather was a concern. Overall, it was a very nice cabin and I would highly recommend!

This cabin exceeded my expectations. Very comfortable, warm and inviting. It has everything for everyone. Big enough for a large group. The host was very kind and receptive. I’d recommend this cabin who’d like a great experience in the foothills.
