We have Starlink, AC, and a cozy wood stove. Stay!

AUTUMN SPECIAL 2024 No pet fee (for one pet) for a stay anytime during September. Woof woof! We truly believe that you will not find another cabin more lovingly decorated, each piece acquired one at a time, to complement the beauty of the mountain. It is private and tucked in tall pines but is walking distance to the village. We were recently notified by Airbnb that we received Superhost status for the tenth time in a row.
