Stayed Jul 29, 2024The view was breathtaking. The level of remote-ness was more than we realized. Virtually no phone service or the ability to contact the outside world in event of emergency. Which we experienced. We could not access the house at first, as the check in lock malfunctioned. The driveway is NOT accessible except to serious off road 4 wheel drive. We required a tow-truck to get us out on the 1st morning, as the EXTREMELY STEEP grade is NOT maintained properly!! The property owners declined to compensate for the $175 tow truck fee.

Stayed Dec 22, 2023The cabin has the most phenomenal view! The drive up to the cabin is NO joke but so worth it! The kitchen was clean and well equipped and the bathrooms were very clean. The house could use a “deep” clean with accent pillows washed, vacuuming under the beds and around the fridge. We did not use the hot tub as the water was very cloudy and we weren’t sure what to do. A portion of the steps were tough to get down, especially at night. The railing was missing pickets in some areas, so just be careful with small children, elderly and your pets. Additionally, various hazards laying around outside, a pallet with rusty nails in the driveway, and boards laying under the deck. Be careful with small children and pets. That being said, we definitely enjoyed our Christmas holiday and made special memories and would return!

Stayed Nov 16, 2023We loved the cabin, well stocked, loved cooking in the kitchen, awesome gas stove with griddle, open and roomy, tastefully and thoughtfully decorated, amazing views, clean and so happy that our pets could join us. Everything was truly great. The driveway is steep and graveled, so for a sedan type car, just get a good running start up the drive when leaving, subaru forrestor and my son's toyota tocoma had no problems.
