Just what we were looking for

We had a wonderful weekend celebrating my birthday at The Happy Nest. The cabin is very spacious, clean, and inviting. We will definitely be planning a trip here again as well as recommending this property to friends and family!
From before I even got to the cabin, the contact with the local caretaker and the evolve team was great, all are very helpful if you have questions or requests.Upon arrival, the cabin was beautiful and welcoming, when we walked in the front door, the huge open living space was wonderful, we love to cook so it was nice for the living space to all be open to the kitchen.The cabin was perfectly stocked, everything you could need to cook, relax, make a fire in the awesome wood stove, great beds and even down to the blankets, we were so happy with our cabin choice.What I really appreciated about this cabin is that everything worked, the furniture was in good shape and comfortable, a lot of places wait too long to swap out furniture or fire pits and things like that that don't work, this place has it all and in working order!There is a big deck out back with several seating options, we really loved the gas fire pit, it was enough to take the edge off the cold and we were able to enjoy the wildlife. We ended up seeing a huge pack of elk mamas and babies crossing the back yard, I'd say 30+ it was so cool!I would definitely recommend this cabin, you won't regret it!
