THE CABIN EXPERIENCE
ManeStay offers a peaceful, wooded escape paired with the reassurance of a highly rated local care team available throughout your stay. Begin your mornings sipping coffee in the sun-filled great room, where natural light pours through the windows and highlights the cozy furnishings.
The living area is perfect for a midday nap, movie night, or friendly board-game competition. Spend afternoons on the wraparound deck enjoying the fresh mountain air or unwind in the private hot tub after a day of hiking.
When hunger strikes, the fully equipped kitchen and breakfast bar make preparing meals effortless. End your evenings gathered around the outdoor fire pit roasting s’mores under the stars.
After a full day of adventure, retreat to one of the two private bedrooms, both featuring new mattresses (as of November 2020), or settle into the loft day bed. ManeStay comfortably accommodates up to six guests.
