Summary: We stayed during the week of Christmas at the cabin. As previously mentioned, the views are absolutely stunning and better in person. Plenty of room for our teens to have their own space and my husband and I to enjoy time together. Definitely need 4WD or AWD to get up and down the mountain. I would also suggest some holiday decorations - we picked some up at Wal-Mart when we went on our grocery shopping trip. Would definitely love to come back and would recommend to anyone looking for a true mountain getaway!
