Hot Tub | Snow | Epic Views - ML73485

Charlie's Cabin is the ultimate hideaway spot to get away from it all! Listen to the striking dawn chorus as you wake, watch the forever changing mountain vistas, soak in the warmth from the fire and indulge in brand new spa.
This space caters for all, whether you are looking for a romantic couples getaway, family holiday or cool spot to hang with friends.
Make yourself at home, relax and enjoy everything this cosy cabin and the surrounding area has to offer.
Charlie's cabin will make you feel relaxed and right at home! It's an authentic pre loved log cabin with lots of character and quirky features.

A well equipped functional kitchen. Open plan living space, boardgames, puzzles and books + two TV’s with Netflix, Youtube, Freeview and DVD capabilities.
A Log fire keeps the place cosy with plenty of wood stock piled. There is also a heat pump for those mornings where instant heat is necessary.
One of the highlights of this place is the spa complete with amazing views!
One of the added features of this property is we have great unlimited Wifi signal and phone reception.

There are no parties or large gathering allowed at this property.
You will have access to the entire Cabin.

Please note: There is a staircase to access the 2nd level where all bedrooms are located. The banister on this level may not be suitable for small children.

This is an alpine environment and snow chains are recommended during the winter seasons if you are staying during a predicted large snow dump - its advised t park at the top of the driveway to minimise the risk of needing to be towed out.
Strictly no outdoor fires except in the designated fire place.
In Mount Lyford village you are not allowed any fencing. If you have a dog friend staying with you must keep them on the property and under effective control.

The cabin was lovely & with everything needed for a chilled out stay - Super comfortable for large groups, and great response from the owners at all times. Highly recommended!

Privacy was not as advertised. Amenities were poorly maintained. All but a few of the spa jets were disassembled and laying in a pile next to the spa when we arrived. The headrest in the spa was nowhere to be found. Door latches and locks not operational. We could smell the septic tank from the spa. We could see and hear the people in the neighboring properties from our deck and spa. We could hear children screaming from inside our accommodation. Beds were hard and uncomfortable. Dishes we went to use from the cupboards were unclean. We have stayed at Mount Lyford in another lodge previously and it was exceptional. This stay at this lodge was a total let down.
