We loved our stay at Squirrel View. Perfect location for a get away. The Lodge had everything you needed, including cleaning products, a hover and washing machine. Beautiful wood burner. Location is stunning with breathtaking views and trails with rivers and mountains for miles. Exploring by foot is recommended as you cannot miss out on the hidden gems. The Lodge has ample private parking.

A truly fantastic cabin in a lovely location. We had such a lovely stay here. The. Cabin was spotlessly clean, perfectly furnished, and wonderfully cosy and comfortable. Evenings by the log burner were wonderful. I cannot recommend this cabin enough for a beautiful get away. The welcome gifts were a lovely touch. Would definitely recommend.
