    Peaceful, rustic and cosy. Just as what it says, middle of the mountains! Ideal getaway from the city or a half way stop point if you want somewhere to R&R from hikes. Nice place.

    The fire was life changing. We had spent a night previously in a damp, cold, and smelly accommodation, so coming here was like a haven. Warm, dry, comfortable and PRIVATE!
