We loved the cottage. We plan on coming again next year. Perfect location in the mountains. Beds are very comfortable. Flowers and hummingbirds everywhere outside in the yard. Beautiful.

Fabulous small cottage!!
Beautiful views.
Fasten your seatbelt for the drive to and from the cottage. Snakey road and vertical drop offs.

We woke up every morning to enjoy the gorgeous sunrise over the mountains. We picked this cabin because of the stunning views from inside, and not just from a deck, which was harder to find in the area. Very well-equipped kitchen. Tiny quiet neighborhood well off of any main roads.
Check the weather forecast for Fontana Dam before you go- the house is not fully winterized, and the furnace could not keep up when temps were sustaining below 35-40F
