A private hot tub offers views of an outdoor fireplace and towering Douglas firs. On a clear night, guests can relax in the spa and stargaze. The outdoor grill has a trailhead-themed awning providing partial cover so guests can more conveniently grill in all four seasons.

A fire starter, kindling, and one bundle of firewood are included with the rental. Please do not bring in firewood from outside of the area. Additional firewood is available for purchase in Ashford.
