What a great time!

We stayed here with our church youth group while on a service trip. It was perfect for us. The youth and chaperones all agreed that it was a neat addition to our adventure. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating for our stay. Hoping this works out as an anual trip!

Family togetherness

We were looking for a last minute getaway with my family, my parents, and our dogs. Thankfully we found this place!! It was perfect for us. It is very secluded, quiet, and peaceful. There is a lot of room for the dogs to run. They absolutely loved their vacation too.

We enjoyed this beautiful , quiet log cabin in the woods. The house has WiFi and everything you need. Just a reminder to print out directions to the cabin because you will have no cell service. This was an awesome way to unplug and enjoy nature.

Slice of Heaven

My wife and I arrived for a 3 night stay on Sunday afternoon. Upon arriving we noticed this was more than just a cabin. The lodge is nestled between the mountains in the valley surrounded by trees. Entering the lodge we were greeted with stunning amenities and a well thought out Christmas theme. The inside was spotless. Very spacious with 5 bedrooms. It was so peaceful you can hear a pin drop. Studying online training for a pilots license so this was just what I needed. The host, Darcy was a pleasure to work with. Got some great drone footage of the area’s surrounding the lodge. We will definitely be back in warmer weather. Thanks so much for sharing your peace on earth with us.

Great Cabin Getaway

This cabin is a dream come true! My wife and I stayed here with our dog for a few days and we had a blast, same as last year. The owners are great people and had everything set up for our arrival. Love the property and love the peace and quiet.

At the edge of the woods

The stay was all that we hoped, very comfortable place, large enough for our family of 10 and provided views and walks along the property to keep us occupied when not resting and spending time in the house.
