First, Melissa Hall is a wonderful, gracious and attentive host. She accommodated some last-minute changes due to the weather, beyond our control. Second, the photographs accurately depict this accommodation. If anything, the cabin is even more beautiful in person. Melissa has done an amazing job carefully decorating the cabin, paying close attention to even the small details like sufficient warm blankets to sit by the fire. We really felt at-home. Third, for those that are a little scared of heights, like me, and intimated by the 5,000+ feet up description; we felt very safe driving to this cabin. The drive up was amazing with views of creeks, streams and waterfalls. Finally, this location and its views were spectacular, calming and relaxing. We traveled in the off season with small children including an infant. We enjoyed spending time in the cabin and at the nearby kid friendly attractions. We visited many of the locations Melissa recommended including Darnell Farms for their spring festival, Gem Mining, Native American Museums, and took stroller friendly hikes. Melissa does an amazing job providing everything you need to know well in advance including directions, access codes, nearby activities, restaurants, grocery stores, etc. electronically as well as a hard copy in the cabin. We highly recommend this cabin and intend to return regularly.
