Amazing location. Peaceful and private. Wonderful views. Pet friendly. Be prepared for a long drive up and down the mountain but well worth it.

The cabin was exactly as described. Far away from everything and with a great view of the slopes. There is the creek half mile down the road but the water was too cold in July. There are also short hiking trails that lead to lakes near by.
The cabin has lamps, spare batteries, some kitchens equipment and a camping stove. It was well maintained. We found the stay very peaceful and looking forward to staying again!
