The main floor features a great room with a gourmet kitchen, 2-story stone-stacked fireplace, ample dining room space, and access to the creekside decks overlooking the stream. Additionally, the master suite, a queen bedroom, and bunk room with two queen beds and two twin beds are located on the main floor. The upstairs features two additional queen bedrooms and a bathroom perfectly appointed for your mountain escape. Open the windows for a stream-side symphony as the kids explore for their very own swimming hole or head out for a family hike on one of the many private hiking trails tucked away on this 500+ acre piece of paradise. At day's end, wrap things up with a dinner in the oversized, gourmet kitchen and s'mores alongside your private outdoor fire pit.

Guests have access to the entirety of the property including all 500 + acres, private hiking trails, stream side hammocks, the Huffman Creek, and of course the entirety of the home.

Will we be available during your stay? We believe in the concept of being "Hands-Off-Helpful." Should you need assistance, we are happy to provide directions, area recommendations, firewood delivery, guided hiking and flying fishing service recommendations, or any other kind of trip planning. That said, if you choose to retreat to your cabin alone we will allow for ample privacy and will not interact during your stay.
