The Space: We are nestled into the woods on the mountainside, and there are no winding, tough roads to get to it. Our setting is serene with nice views out to the ridgeline.

The Poppa Bear Cabin was adapted from another use, and it was mindfully renovated with local, live edge cladding from sustainable local harvesters as well as upgraded to have efficient heating, cooling, and other efficient equipment.Escape to our secluded mountainside cabin, minutes from town and the national park.
