Summary: This stay was so fun! The property is very beautiful, and the cabins are cozy and comfy. We had a lovely time relaxing in the little living room, watching the colors of the sweeping scenery outside change dramatically throughout the evening. The cabins are super nice: great shower, nice little kitchenette, and feel very private with the blackout curtains drawn. The host is very kind and communicative, and clearly cares a lot about the property and running a great operation.
