We really enjoyed our time here. This is the second time we have come up and stayed at a cabin in the winter. There were plenty of space heaters and the wood burning stove kept the cabin very warm. The beds were comfy. We hiked down to the overlook for sunset and that was magical.
The only thing I will say is that the bunk beds are larger than a twin in cabin a so the sheets we brought did not fit. Luckily we brought a sleeping bag anyway so it wasn’t super necessary to have them. Just a heads up for those in the future.

We didn’t come with many preconceived expectations other than time away in a quiet location. Our expectations were met, but the experience far exceeded that. The managers were off the charts friendly and helpful. A fire was lit in the cabin fireplace and heaters were on. Other guests were a pleasure to meet and interact with. I have already put a reminder in my calendar to reserve a cabin again next year.

We’ve been coming for 45 years and the place has never been better! Amber and her team are amazing. Everything was spotless and appointed as described. The sunsets never disappoint! We love how they’ve expanded the store. They were very friendly and welcoming. It’s not the easiest place to get to - but totally worth it. We had adequate cell service and WiFi worked well. The Solo Stoves were new since our last visit and we really enjoyed stargazing around the fire. The delivery of firewood was a treat! And very reasonably priced, burned well. Can’t wait to go back.

This place is as beautiful as any mountain top ever. The plus is the hot and all her goodies and hospitality at the general store. Worth the long drive up the mountain.
