When we pulled into the property, we were greeted by 10 to 15 wild turkeys. It was awesome to see them just walk around the car. When we opened the door to the house it felt like a home. Clean, comfortable and cozy. The views were outstanding. We were blessed to actually run into Libby and Craig at the property. Just two wonderful people. We would stay here every time we visit.

This is a great cabin in a fun area of Washington. We stayed in the same cabin last year and it was the perfect place to come back to after hiking in the area. This year was too hot for hiking so we spent a lot of time on the Stevenson waterfront, and it was so nice to come "home" to the cool, clean cabin. It has everything we need for a fun getaway. The welcome goodies were very appreciated. And Backwoods Brewing was even better than last year. We hope to stay in this cabin again.

Wonderful home base for exploring the Columbia River Gorge

This cabin was perfect for two. It was conveniently located for our hiking and trail running adventures and the town of Stevenson had everything we needed for stocking up on groceries as well as different restaurant options. The cabin was modern and clean and the hosts provided thoughtful touches that made us feel at home. We enjoyed the open space, view of the river, and watching deer and wild turkeys from the back and side porches. We would love to return and would recommend this cabin to friends or anyone looking to explore the area.
