The Property
The house is clean, airy and cozy. It's a Retro style mountain country vacation cabin, simple, perfectly imperfect, inviting, low-key, and a bit quirky/artsy with some Boho flavor. It's somewhat still living in good old sweet 1970-s. It has cathedral A-frame ceiling with open wooden beams, wood burning fireplace and a jacuzzi/whirlpool for two.
The house is 1500 sq ft, has 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, loft with skylight. Perfect for stargazing and counting clouds! :) Master bedroom upstairs has a queen size bed, tall ceilings, Jacuzzi tub for two and the balcony that facing the creek! While houses are nearby it feels private.
Everything is set to help you to disconnect from the world, have a break, relax, to deeper connect with yourself and close ones, refocus, and recharge. Therefore no cable at the house, by design.

The Mood
If you have a romantic side, come to stay at our cabin and enjoy being surrounded by nature, the calming sounds and views of the rolling water, the birds, crickets, far away wind chimes, occasional forest rain, and frogs. Unwind in the bubbling Jacuzzi. At night gaze at the amazing here stars in these deep clear mountain skies. Watch the various wildlife when it decides to visit. Curious deer, funny turkeys, various birds and living beings are passing by at times. We have seen all sorts of wildlife here, even bears and a black mink. They are locals here and they don't bother human locals. Just don't bother them!
It's a perfect place for you if you are feeling tired, for healing yourself, for meditation and yoga.
If you need to pause, unlink and detach from the world, to recharge, to step back in time where it moves slower and there is plenty of it to take good care for yourself, or to JUST BE, this is exactly for you. It's a right choice for a long vacation or a weekend trip, to reconnect with self and nature, or for the time together with your special ones. You will feel right at home here.
This place is great for idealists and dreamers :)
