Great home, clean, well stocked, spacious and beautiful setting. Perfect for family our group of friends/couples
returned for our 3rd year. love
This home is spacious. The location is perfect. The deck facing a small lake is great for relaxing and enjoying mountain air and nature. Wildlife abounds from rabbits, geese, swallows, coyotes, fox, elk and more. The home does need some work on the inside here and there and the windows desperately need washing to enjoy the fabulous view, but it is still a lovely place to be. The kitchen has everything you need to cook and bake, we were very pleased! We will gladly return to this mountain retreat.
Love the place can't say enough good things about the cabin and property we all agree to stay here again next year
The cabin and the views were stunning! Of note, the road in to the cabin is not paved. A car could not have made it. 2 ft deep mud. Thankfully all our vehicles had 4-wheel drive and was needed each time. If not for the unreasonable rules of the owners, it still would have been 4-5 stars. 1. Only allowed 1 large black bag of garbage TOTAL for the entire stay. Told we had to take any additional garbage with us. The landfills are all closed on Mondays, so we had to take garbage in our cars on the drive home. 2. Long printed list of required clean up to get cleaning deposit back. We followed the list to every picky detail, no money was returned. We left the cabin cleaner than we found it. 3. Told not to use the washing machine, or there would be an additional $300 fee! I thought every VRBO was required to provide this amenity? And to not have access to a washer in a mountain cabin during snow season is absurd. Buy a new washer! 4. The fire place was filthy. Remnants of the previous guest fire were still there, not cleaned. It has glass doors on both sides, but they were covered in black soot and completely blocked the view of the fire. The lake view windows were also streaked with dust/soot. 4. The smart thermostat was remotely reprogrammed each night to 50°. We woke up FREEZING! The cost of the stay was doubled with their additional fees. Don’t expect to get your deposit back, despite following all their demands.
It was perfect
Great cabin with a beautiful view!
Convenient location, clean, easy access
The only negatives I have for this place is that the windows were incredibly dirty from the birds which made the amazing views less appealing. The description said there was a crib but only a pack and play was provided (which worked fine). The trash compactor was broken and honestly in our way. The location is awesome. The views great. The porch is to die for and we were comfortable for our week. Would stay again.
The log cabin was delightful, we had a wonderful view of the private lake. We saw herds of Elk. All in all our stay at the property was very pleasant.
Property was beautiful. Exactly what we wanted for a brother, sister , cousin trip
And I hope we can come back a year from now
This is a beautiful home and great property. Very comfortable with plenty of room and exceptional views from every window with the exception of the bird droppings. However, the house had everything you would possibly need and more. Simply a wonderful place to spend quality time with family in a peaceful, gorgeous environment.
Beautiful home and area. Very relaxing. The pond was very nice and the elk, ducks and geese were welcome visitors...not to mention the neighbors' horses.
We loved this home with a beautiful view! It was very comfortable and well stocked for everything we needed. The area is breathtaking and we’d love to stay again!!
It's our second time staying at what my children refer to as the Cabin Mansion. We enjoy being surrounded by wildlife and saw an Elk Pool Party with over 50 elk in attendance on our last day of the trip. If you are looking for a great family retreat, this is the place to go.
Amazing place with room to be together or have your own space We when up to hunt but had more fun just hanging out with the awesome views for the Great Room or the patio.
