I loved the entire cabin inside and the front porch and deck. I liked the furnishings, kitchen, jetted tub and walk-in shower.

I didn’t like the cobwebs on the ceilings inside of the cabin and on the deck. There were a lot of cobwebs on the deck, deck fireplace, and the deck needed swept everywhere. There was no broom at the property to sweep the deck or floors. Also, the shower liners in both of the bathroom showers need to be changed out because they were dirty and moldy. The owner definitely needs to add some steps to the back deck that lead to the fire pit.

The location was an adventure as it is on top of a mountain. Very cool experience but if you are afraid of heights, this is not for you. It had a great back deck with a jacuzzi, fire place, tv and sitting area. It was very efficiently stocked in the kitchen and bath rooms. it also has an indoor fireplace and a tv in the living and bedroom. Also, there is a tv upstairs for gaming and a air hockey game. Neat view form upstairs with seating. I would recommend this cabin.

I didn't like the drive up and down the mountain. The parking is very limited.

The layout was great adults downstairs and kids upstairs. Had everything we needed in the kitchen. Had a small issue with the fridge...it was a quick fix, and very quick turn around from maintenance.

No way to get from the back porch down to the fire pit. Only way out to it is to go out the front and walk in the dark to the back yard. Need a few solar lights out there. Wish there had been firewood to use. But we did find out soon enough to purchase some in town...thanks to the quick text back from the hosts. Very steep driveway...not a great situation for unstable elderly or those just learning to walk.

LOVE every part!

We didn’t get to see any bears/animals! It was very rainy/hot week and there are a lot of construction sites so we understand, I just wanted to see some cubs!

We loved everything... internally and externally. The cabin was very enticing, intimate, and had a welcoming home feeling. Master bathroom was brand. Loved the outside seating on patio with fireplace and TV. Gameroom was absolutely fun.

The power went out for a few hours due to weather. Generator would be nice in those situations. Didn't use fire pit due to not being enclosed and not knowing how often wild animals come around. Air hockey table scoreboard didn't work (not a biggie, because we played anyhow).
