Great weekend away / fire ++ Such a nice weekend away , slow paced and enjoyed being in the mountains. The home was perfect including a fire which we had on for nearly the entire time. There is internet there / 3G/4G. Nice wee walks around perfect for young kids w a little playground.

The scenery was beautiful. The cabin itself was run down and needs a spring clean. It’s not good value for money -we were disappointed in how little love has gone into the place.

Summer break Great spot. Comfortable cabin. Had everything we needed. Mini golf site was very cool! We were a bit disappointed about the $10 per person charge to access the local walks (nothing to do with this listing) but the accommodation side was great.
