Summit Pines Hideaway - Amazing Mountain Views!

We had stayed here once before and had a lovely time. The location is beautiful, quiet, and serene.

The property is listed with the fireplace being the central feature. As we were scheduled to stay during an avalanche winter storm, we understandably were eager to make use of the fireplace. However, the hosts neglected to leave kindling, matches/lighters, and other essential fire making materials. Upon reaching out to the hosts about this, we were told to drive into town (in the middle of a blizzard) to procure our own - they would later reimburse us. Disappointed, but with no other choice, we went about trying to resolve this on our own, only to then be told to not use the fireplace, as the previous guests had damaged it! Surely this is information that could have been shared with us prior to our traveling to this remote location, rather than after we’d already arrived. It felt very “we already have your money, whatever.” Attempts to remedy the situation were unsuccessful in any respect, as the hosts continually reiterated that they were there to help, but when we reached out for assistance, we were told to do it ourselves. We were told that they were taking extra precautions to make our stay comfortable, but when I asked them what these precautions entailed, I was told that they “typically provide the essentials to make our stay comfortable.” Unsure why our experience was so carelessly tended to, but rest assured we will not be visiting this location again. If one can’t rely on their hosts to even provide the basic essentials, why bother? What’s next? No toilet paper? No electricity? The heating system in the cabin is lackluster, to say the least. Obviously, with the fireplace situation, we attempted to make use to the cabin’s interior heat to ensure some level of comfort during our stay. However, the system takes forever to adjust! The hosts have the heat set to 60 degrees, which sure, a matter of preference. But after freezing our way up the mountain, 70-75 degrees was more what we needed, especially with no fireplace.

It was very well kept and had such amazing views! The location is very quiet and relaxing we really enjoyed it.

Needed snow chains to make it all the way uphill.

It was amazing :)

The cabin was very large, very comfortable and well stocked. At the very top of strawberry point are amazing views. The fishing in the pond is non stop action. I am rebooking for next August.

I honestly can not complain about anything.

Everything. It’s cozy, quiet, perfect weather in a beautiful location. The back porch views are breathtaking.

Cleaning fee was a bit higher than expected.
