Fabulous property!
The house is gorgeous, property spotless and our stay was thoroughly enjoyable. Property manager and staff are on call almost 24/7 and very responsive to any questions we had. House fit all 12 of us comfortably; they even have sleep number beds! We enjoyed the firepit table and got good use out of their smoker! We had a blast...if you love nature, hiking, fishing, and zillions of stars at night, you'll love this place!

Family vacation
We enjoyed the peacefulness, being able to play pool, use the hot tub, and have a fire. There was plenty of space for us to spread out, but big enough areas for us to be all together playing games, eating, and having a relaxed and enjoyable time.

Beautiful location, very cozy
Really nice cabin. A little hard to get to, but that’s kind of what you want! Plan ahead for meals because it takes a while to get into town and there arent a whole lot of options. But the property is beautiful and the house itself is great.

Beautiful Mountain Retreat
This home is so beautiful that it’s hard to know where to start! The location in the forest feels very private with lovely views from the house. Down below, there is a small creek that burbles along. You can hear it from the yard. We enjoyed the firepit and there was lots of cut wood. The cabin itself is incredible. Many cozy places to relax, a pool table, a hot tub. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything you might need and there were even some staples like coffee filters, sugar, cocoa and maple syrup already there. Our youngest child claimed the loft for himself and was delighted to have his own space. The rooms are set up so there is a lot of room to spread out, even if you had a larger group than we did. I loved all the extra trinkets and decorations around the place. If you love horses, you will love this place! We were able to snowshoe up an unplowed road right behind the property. It would be a great getaway anytime of the year, really. If the weather was bad, there are about a thousand DVDs and lots of games. I think 4WD would be helpful at times for the road up to the place. We came up during the spring melt so it was muddy and slick. Well worth the effort, though! Thank you for making this incredible home available!

8 adults and two small children gathered from Hawaii, Belrade, MT, NYC, San Diego, and Atlanta for a Family Christmas. First, the owner & landlord agreed to put up a Christmas tree since we were arriving on 12/24 and wouldn't be able to do so. Thank you so much for that! It set a great tone for our gathering... As we arrived, the snow began to fall ... along with the temperatures (-4). We hiked on the beautiful and spacious property, crunching through 6" of fresh snow. Grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles, and little ones shared in the smells of Christmas cookies, coffee, and the roaring fireplace. While we dipped into the hot tub, the backs of our heads actually turned to icicles. The rooms and beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was amazingly stocked with every pan, pot, knife, coffee cup, and container that we needed. Christmas Day between the tree and the kitchen made for some terrific memories. We used the Traeger grill - even in 4 degrees below zero - to grill elk burgers. We played Ticket to Ride at the very large dinner table. I hope to return. Our time was lovely and the home + property contributed a ton to our enjoyment.

Wonderful family size lodge -perfect for our reunion
This was a great lodge and made the perfect setting for our large family gathering. The kitchen is extremely well stocked and provisioned. The large bar and eating area were just right. We had perfect weather so the house temp was also just right. We used the hiking maps and found those difficult to follow but it didnt matter. All in all it was a great stay and we would come again!

Great Seclusion, Very interesting origination of the property,
Well stocked and maintained with normal household needs to function as a family for a week or more. We loved the massage chair, it got lots of use. We stayed during a time with the temperatures were hitting 90 plus, so not having air conditioning was a littl uncomfortable in the late hours of the afternoon. The movie theater / surround sound was great to watch with the family. We enjoyed our stay and would certainly recommend it to anyone that wanted that back in the woods "Walton's Mountain" feel.
