Everything was awesome, driving to the house was easier than expected, fully paved roads all the way.The house was super clean and pretty.Pictures were very accurate and the mountains view at dawn were the best.

Amazing stay! Everything was clean and in good working order! The drive up is scary if you are not used to steep mountain driving but if you take your time you will be fine!

We spent our Christmas in this lovely mountain getaway and we had every amenity that we needed for our stay. The team that handles the property were very professional and provided us with all the information we would need for our stay. The cabin itself was lovely and very inviting. This is the perfect getaway that we needed. 6 stars if we could give it! The Thompson-Whitfields’
