If anything, the listing understated the beauty and magic of this place. The cabin (the owner has photos of it when it was being built, check them out in the game room) is well laid out: a spacious deck that runs the length of the home, and a huge sliding glass door leading in and out from the living room/ kitchen area. It is from this vantage point that you will often find yourself just looking out and into the forest, where you will see anything from an extended family of elk (including the baby elk) perusing the lavender or spruce along the roadways. Or at night you will have a canopy of stars, far more than you will likely see anywhere else. The cabin is described as app. 2500 sq. Ft, but to us ( a family of 5, including three very mobile young children) it felt much larger. One thing they did that we thought was very smart was they converted the garage into the game room—which, if you have a 12-month-old (as we did), made for a very safe and large floor space for her to run around in without doing damage to herself or others ;). We stayed here during somewhat of a heat wave for this area, and the A/C was very modern and cooled the entire house very well (sometimes that’s not the case in cabins where there aren’t many super hot days).
The building of this home was obviously inspired. In that vein, staying here, I would suggest paying respect to that inspiration by taking care of it.
Suffice to say, we enthusiasticallly recommend this cabin.
