    I cannot praise this house enough! We had such a wonderful time celebrating our family Christmas at this beautiful mountain retreat! There was everything you needed right at your fingertips and the house was so cozy, clean, and the decor, might I ad, was phenomenal, suiting a mountain cabin! My family enjoyed the hot tub, sauna, and the game room. Built a fire in the fire pit & relaxed, taking everything in. We actually spent two of the days we were there just hanging out at the cabin enjoying the view. The owner was very accommodating with our pets and the communication was great. The weather was mid 70’s the first part of our stay, and 19 with snow the last part! It was a wonderful time and we hope to be back again!

    Our stay at this beautiful house was great! The house is equipped with plenty of rooms and storage space! It would have been nice to have baby gates, but it had several toys for young children! The kids loved the hot tub and game room! Nice relaxing spaces and views for everyone to enjoy!

    This home was the perfect distance from hikes, good food, horseback riding, and gem mining! The kids loved it all… but especially the hot tub. The layout is great for big families.

    We absolutely loved this cabin and its views. The location was close enough to town but just remote enough to enjoy the peace and quiet. It was also great that the cabin was fully stocked with towels, bathroom toiletries, etc. We loved that we were able to enjoy a vacation with our dog and hope to be able to return soon.

    This cabin was immaculately, clean and breathtakingly beautiful. During our stay, I develops a kidney infection and needed emergency surgery for a kidney stone and the host so graciously extended our stay by two days so that my husband could stay with me in the hospital and that my children could get home safely, I can’t thank Owner for their kindness. We will definitely be staying there again. It’s a dream vacation in the mountains and we’re so grateful that they were willing to share their beautiful home with our family.

    I can say nothing bad about this house! We spent 3 nights at Barefoot Retreat & It is absolutely beautiful and so well appointed! The drive in is gorgeous, with the gravel driveway & views. The owners really took their time to make you feel like you were at home with all the little details. The sauna was amazing !! I spent time in it every night along with the hot tub with beautiful views. The game room was a blast , we loved playing darts & the vintage arcade was fun. Where you can’t “see” our neighbors which is awesome, you’ll hear them. Some mornings it was hard to spend time outside as their dogs were very vocal, but I know that can’t be helped. It wasn’t all the time though. When we did get to be outside with our coffee was peaceful & truly beautiful.

    I give this Cabin five + stars. Absolutely gorgeous fully stocked. Everything work properly. Enough beds for the family. Game room was great for fun time. Fire pit. Sauna hot tub. Music. Screen in porches but my favorite has to be the view from the second floor balcony. This cabin was everything and more. Easy check in and out.
