Listen to the quiet in this mountain location—local creeks across the road in this private setting with seasonal mountain views. Relax in serenity if you aren’t up for activity.

It's an easy drive to the cabin! Hilly, paved country roads take you through the Aska Adventure Area until just the last mile, which is a gravel groomed road. It's not too steep, and our driveway is paved! There are horses and picturesque views the whole way.
