We had an awesome vacation! Relaxing, amazing views of the mountains and lake! Beautiful sunrise coming over the mountains every morning. Hated to leave but will definitely be back!! Also need to mention the road was fixed while we were there.
We set our alarm in the mornings to watch the sunrise!

The view was great. It felt like we were the only 2 on earth. The bed wasn't very comfortable and there is no grass for your dog to go potty which is just an FYI for people with picky potty dogs.

Awesome views

Impressive cabin with all the fixins, including a backwoods drive to keep things bumping. The cabin was immaculate and cozy and comfortable. But the star of the show was the incredible views. Just beautiful, and very worth it.

Beautiful view

Cabin is a 10 out of 10 - - secluded, quiet, clean and has an outstanding view - - you need a truck (which we brought) or a jeep to get there - the road is pretty rough and steep but well worth the adventure to get there!

Perfect Nature Retreat

This is an excellent location for couples wanting seclusion and the silence of nature. The inside of the cabin is amazing, but we spent most of our time on the bed swing enjoying eagles flying and the epic view of mountains and lake.

Perfect getaway!

My boyfriend and I have stayed in a lot of cabins over the past couple years & this is quite easily one of our favorites! Everything is as listed. The views are amazing & so is the drive down to the cabin (though rocky as mentioned). So peaceful & beautiful we hope to be back! We enjoyed morning rain showers, stars, lightning bugs, fishing, hiking, kayaking & so much more. We couldn’t see any other people or lights out on the lake. The perfect secluded spot, we could not be more lucky to have found this listing! Thank you for having us!!

Wonderful Escape

The cabin was exactly what we were looking for. Quaint, rustic, with a fantastic view. Bring your 4x4 to make the climb up a little easier. We brought a TV to use in the evenings, but we didn't even turn it on. Go for the peace and quiet and you will not be disappointed.

Really nice!!

The place is wonderful. Only complaint was that firewood was supposed to be provided and when we got there there was one stick of firewood left. Had to drive back into town and purchase some and it’s not cheap. Other than that very pleased!
