GOOD WEEKEND | 52 WEEKENDS AWAY

A granite cabin for two with solar power, a rainwater tank and eco-conscious fittings and supplies, this is off-the-charts, off-the-grid living. Forget about the ski slopes; this is the other side of alpine adoration, more tactile linen than fluoro fleece.

Mill Cabin in Crackenback is a true gem for travellers seeking a serene and idyllic retreat in the heart of nature. Located in the picturesque Snowy Mountains region of Australia, this cozy and rustic cabin is nestled amid a verdant forest and offers stunning views of the surrounding peaks.

The most tranquil and peaceful place I think I’ve ever stayed. Surrounded by snow gums and overlooking snow-capped mountains, Mill Cabin is a truly special place. Perfectly at home in nature, but incredibly comfortable and well-appointed. We honestly never wanted to leave - such a blissful few days here.

STEPHANIE | AIRBNB SNOWY MOUNTAINS

AMAZING!!! By the far the most amazing place we have stayed.Trent and Niki have created such an incredible Airbnb - highly recommend.The location is completely secluded but close enough to head to the snow or into town if you’d like. The cabin has everything you need from cooking utensils/staples, fire wood, board games, beautiful styling, and the most amazing scenery/view.Definitely an experience we won’t ever forget - I can’t wait to stay here again :)

NICOLE | AIRBNB SNOWY MOUNTAINS

"This place is amazing! You can tell how much work went into all the finishing touches, we loved our stay. Beautiful quiet location, really comfortable bed, we’ll be back for another relaxing weekend away."

Olivia | AIRBNB SNOWY MOUNTAINS

Mill Cabin was just pure serenity. We were greeted by wallabies, hopping around in the early snow, then entered the cabin to find the most delightful sanctuary. Every detail was considered, from the textures of the towels to the beautiful ceramics in the kitchen. We absolutely loved the design of the cabin, nestled into the gum trees, taking in the magnificent views from every window. We feel revived & indulged, the perfect place to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. Thank you Niki & Trent for a gorgeous experience.

Andrew | AIRBNB SNOWY MOUNTAINS

"Can’t recommend Mill Cabin highly enough; the space is beautiful, peaceful and sparkling clean, with high quality products and thoughtful touches. The surrounds are pristine, wonderfully quiet and absolutely private. There is wildlife (kangaroos, deer and even a wombat!) that approach quite close to the cabin and really add to the experience. Communication with Niki was effortless and she was able to provide me lots of helpful info on the area. I feel nourished and very well rested after my 5 night stay- a much needed detox from city life. Will definitely return."
