Summary: We had a fabulous time and really enjoyed this beautiful cabin! Very rustic feeling and it was lovely soaking in the hot tub and then curling up by the fire. This cabin is in a great location to go horseback riding nearby and snow tubing. Our whole family had such a blast and we will remember this trip forever!
