"Wonderful 4 nights stay. Loved the rocking chairs on the porch. Kept watch for bears but were disappointed. Too warm for fireplace use Loved the wooded seclusion and quietness.

10/10 Excellent

"The cabin was clean, comfortable and pictures are accurate. Kids loved the beds in the loft area. The cabin is surrounded by trees and is very peaceful. Hosts were wonderful to work with as they were quick to respond to a question, and offered us early check-in when the prior guest left early due to weather. The location to Townsend and the National Park was great. Wifi was fast. I would stay again, and would recommend to friends or family."
