Welcome to The Lightfoot Cabin!

We kindly request no shoes inside. A small shoe bench sits just outside the front door, and we provide indoor slippers for your comfort. This helps keep the cabin clean, cozy, and welcoming for all guests.

This is a tri-level split home. When you enter, you'll go down a few steps into the main open living space. The full kitchen has all the essentials, including an electric kettle, French press with ground coffee, and tea packets for your morning moments. Please note the fridge has a small freezer and there is no dishwasher. The water heats quickly—please take care.

The inviting living room features a daybed for lazy afternoon naps and a swing chair overlooking the trees. Enjoy the unique freestanding gas fireplace, curl up with a board game, or explore our record player and personal romantic collection of vinyls sourced from our travels around the world—each one selected with intention and tied to a memory.

A sliding door leads to a peaceful deck surrounded by pine and cedar trees—perfect for morning coffee or grilling dinner. Heat lamps are available for chilly evenings.

The dining area brings back the charm of sitting at your cool grandma’s house, with a white pedestal table and cantilever velvet and cane chairs—an ideal place to enjoy a shared meal.

Head up the stairs from the main entrance and you’ll find a serene loft with a king-sized bed, a leather lounge chair for reading, and a writing desk complete with a vintage typewriter for inspiration. Step out onto the small private deck for fresh mountain air and treetop views.

Outside, experience three signature wellness features:

A Hot Springs Spas Jetsetter hot tub, perfect for deep relaxation.

A brand-new barrel sauna, offering a warm, rejuvenating forest escape.

The peaceful alpine setting that makes The Lightfoot Cabin ideal for couples’ retreats, anniversaries, or romantic getaways.
