Great little spot and was perfect for our anniversary trip! Owner was very responsive and helpful when needed. The location was different for us, but very quiet!

Our stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, everything was perfect. One recommendation would be to update the fire restrictions to current status to better inform guests. The date on the posted restrictions was 2023 so we presumed they were out-of-date.

Fantastic

The LOVE shack is most definitely that! The built in speakers that link via Bluetooth is fabulous. We most definitely loved the shower design. Great creativity to the designer. It is a quiet and peaceful place to unplug and reconnect with your spouse. The hot tub stayed a constant temp at 104* which is perfect for the cooler mountain temps. We most certainly appreciated the stack of clean towels. Would recommend this place!
