  This place has the rustic cabin feel you hope for when staying in the middle of nowhere, with all of the modern aneneties you desire.
  If you're looking for a peaceful getaway, this is it. You are not just in the mountains but on TOP of the mountain (no kidding, it's really high up)!
  When you first arrive you will be shocked at the breath-taking views. You'll fall in love with the cabin and all of the comforts of home.
  A few perks-
  -strong wifi
  -very kid-freindly
  -comfortable beds and couches
  -nice showers
  -a bidet!
  -the kitchen has EVERYTHING
  -the clubhouse has a pool, game room, a decent gym (far better than a hotel gym).
  
  Less than perfect (but zero takeawy from the experience)-
  -the driveway is narrow and a little hard to navigate
  -some of the doors got stuck often
  -it rained all week (likely why the doors were sticking)
  -the community features (pool, lake, club house, tennis courts) are a drive rather than walk (I forgot to map that!). No biggie.
  
  A must- visit the campground.
  Hike to the 4 points on the trail. The blue hole felt farther than the 2 miles it claimed, but it was worth it. You will cross through the creek several times and climb some steep and narrow be prepared. Bring a snack and water. It took us 6 hours in and back! It was so worth it. I submitted a few photos on Google maps.
  
  On the property management-
  LIFE SAVERS. No joke. We ran into some scary car trouble and called them for help. She had someone to us in 10 min.
  There was a binder on the counter. It had so much helpful information. Things to do, places to eat, nearby grocery stores. All rentals should take notes. This was our vacation bible.
  The checkout process was the easiest I've experienced.
  
  Go. Disconnect. Enjoy a beautiful place. You won't regret it!

  What a great experience we had at Tatra Nest! The owners really took the time to make sure we had everything we needed and then some! The cabin was very clean and well-maintained. The view is fantastic! The fireplace both inside and out helps to keep you cozy on cold nights and the sunlight that shines in through the large windows in the main area of the house in the morning is beautiful. It is in a gated community with a nice pond and game room to enjoy. Everyone is very friendly. There are SO many hiking trails that we took advantage of in the area. It was far enough away from everything to just unplug and enjoy all the beauty and fresh air the mountains have to offer. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a beautiful escape any time of the year.

  My husband and I stayed at Tatra Nest over NYE weekend and it was absolutely amazing. The owners have thought of everything we needed. Just make sure you bring plenty of food and drinks because everything is around 45 min away to get to anywhere but we did not mind that at all due to we were disconnecting from everything. It was beautiful at the top of Powder Horn Mountain. I highly recommend this property!
