Fabulous views and a remote getaway.
It's hard to imagine the views being better than the images in the photo, but I think they were. We had changing views throughout the day as the weather and temps changed. I was a bit worried about getting there in the snow, but the roads were recently plowed with compact snow and easily travelled with my car's AWD.The unit is beautifully appointed, and had lots of extras like USB chargers, bluetooth speaker, etc. We enjoyed our snowy retreat at this unique location.

Outstanding views and a cozy remote getaway
During my stay, I had every changing views in a snowy wonderland. Getting from the main road to the cabin felt like an adventure in the snow, but was perfectly easy with the combo of my car's AWD, below frozen temps, and compacted snow surface. The views were extraordinary even with changing weather during my stay. The modern cabin is well appointed and peaceful-- we didn't see anyone during our 3-day stay. It was just the retreat I needed.

Beautiful stay
Beautiful stay on top of the mountain. Only things I would warn about are in winter you definitely need all wheel drive at least. The climb up the mountain in the snow was kind of scary. It takes a good 30 minutes or so to get to the top/bottom of the mountain. But we didn’t mind since we stayed in all day for the most part to enjoy the scenery. Thought I would mention there is no TV so plan accordingly if you like to fall asleep to tv or watch the news. Very beautiful would highly recommend

Earthlight Villa 6
This villa is incredible and the views are breathtaking! Yes you can see another villa but you still get the privacy you are looking for. I really enjoyed taking a couple epsom salt baths (that was provided). I spent more time on the swing and swinging bench than I thought I would. Definitely worth the wait!
