Response from the owner We are so glad that you enjoyed your visit. This is a lovely time to visit the mountains. Since the cabin is in such a deeply forested area and because of the topography we are unable to get good cell service and even wifi. But isn't it great to take a break from all that? Hope you will return. Thanks for the great review. Judy
