Overall is a nice cabin getaway at a fair cost. Was absolutely worth it and beautiful scenery. Good location on the mountain, but you can hear quite a bit of traffic (not 100% secluded for anyone wanting a more isolated experience). Going up to the Sky Center Observatory for sunset was just breathtaking. Also great to wake up every morning and be surrounded by deer. Was expecting bare bones but ended up having lots of creature comforts. Bed was super comfy. Nice to actually have Wifi too (maybe didn’t read that before reserving). Cons: Spent a lot of time cleaning bathroom- it wasn’t nasty but it definitely hadn’t had a real scrubbing in a while. Only legitimate issue was previous folks left their trash behind and we had to haul it off… we already had a pretty loaded car with food, bedding, clothes, baby necessities, and gear so wasn’t great to pack the car even tighter and go home with extra. Knowing we had to haul off someone else’s trash when leaving ruined the experience for my wife.

The cabin was clean and comfortable and quiet. We went to summer heaven for dinner and the food and service was great.

I enjoyed two visits in October 2022 and loved each stay. Comfortable and well equipped, except…..a snap style mousetrap or two would have been helpful! A mouse or mice and I battled during the night as its noises awoke me multiple occasions and I filmed it several times scurrying across the counter and slipping into the slot atop the gas stove. My food items and crumbs were cleaned up, but it was persistent! I will return and bring my own trap(s). There was disinfecting cleanser that was used to take care of the droppings on the counters, stovetop tables, etc. It was originally found cozily nesting in a cabin blanket on the top shelf of the bedroom closet. Sigh. It did make for a good story, however, and my Facebook friends followed it closely!
