Was perfectly in between all the things we wanted to do and still felt like we were far away. Would highly recommend and definitely will be back! July 2026 Stayed with a pet This cabin was absolutely charming. It was so comfortable, and a great place to revive my soul. It was just right (sic) for reading a book on the deck in the morning and relaxing in the hot tub at night. The kitchen was well stocked and organized. I was able to cook all the meals I planned. The area is also fabulous. I was there in the summer so got some challenging runs in, an amazing hike, delicious food at nearby restaurants, and listened to lovely local music. It just felt like going home at this cabin. It was hard to leave.
