10/10 Excellent

"The cabin was awesome and the stay was excellent! If you enjoy a great mountain view from a large, hillside cabin, with many amenities, then this is an excellent choice! The host was extremely responsive and helpful. Even after we discovered an issue, the host went above an beyond to try an correct the issuePros (more details below!):1) An incredible cabin with lots of space and many beds!2) Outstanding view of the mountains.3) Amenities galore! So many that you may not want to leave!4) Excellent host that was incredibly responsive.5) Isolated and quiet.Cons (none are really negative!):1) It is up a mountain, so the road is steep and mostly gravel.2) You cannot actually see the lake.3) It is an older cabin, but still in very good condition.4) No speakers (yet!)The property listing was not complete accurate, as there were actually MORE amenities than listed! Here is a partial list of the extras:There is a large gas grill (in excellent condition) and a hibachi grill for charcoal. There is a large coffee maker both floors, and a Keurig machine on the main floor. There is a dishwasher on the main floor.There were 4 kayaks onsite and a trailer to load them on to get down to the lake.The pool table is regulation size. The 80's style arcade game has 6 old-school games on it Including Frogger, Donkey Kong, Galaga & Mrs Pac-Man!!). I'm sure I missed some, but basically, anything you need (other than food & drink) is there, with lots of extras!Highly recommend!"
