Quaint, Private log cabin mountain top retreat

This is the perfect get away. Enjoy this private quiet setting with beautiful long range views. This property has a nice elevation that keeps it cool in the hot summer months. Everything you'll need is at your finger tips. It is truly a home away from home. Relax in the hot tub or take a nature walk on several trails that leads from the top of this property or just relax in the rocking chairs on the front porch and enjoy the views. You may see a stray Deer come strolling by. Dine inside or out with a large picnic table close by and a fire pit with seating all around. There is plenty to do including rafting and fly fishing at the near by river or boating at the lake.This is a true log built cabin and easily sleeps six. It has a wood burning stove along with baseboard heat, TV's, full kitchen, telephone, out door grille and all the comforts of home, just stop at the store on your way in for groceries. Perfect cabin for ALL seasons.

Very secluded private and quiet. Just exactly what we needed! Host is very gracious and communication was easy. The cabin is at the peak of the mountain so the views are amazing and temperature was always cool, that being said the driveway is a bit steep but well maintained.

Hidden gem

My soon to be and I stayed four days at this beautiful and quite hidden mountaintop cabin with the intent of searching nearby areas to get married and hopefully eventually move to. That being said,we did not get to enjoy the cabin as much as we would have Liked. The limited time we were there was absolutely beautiful
