Very nice modern and nicely decorated cabin, but with some awkward attributes. Dining table and chairs tiny. No washer and dryer or dishwasher. So, a stay of more than a few days would not be considered.

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.

Friendly visitors one evening.

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.

Loved our stay

This little cabin was perfect for our little getaway! We loved the peaceful setting! Everything was very clean and lovely. Stevenson is minutes away and has a nice grocery store and local restaurants. Great hiking close by - Beacon Rock, Falls Creek Falls, and Wahclella Falls were some we really enjoyed. Being greeted by a thank you note and snacks was a nice touch. One of our favorite VRBOs we've stayed at for sure! Thank you for a great stay!

Had a nice stay!

Loved the king size bed and air conditioner! Has everything you need for a very comfortable stay. I would say you need a car to get to the cute, well equipped downtown area. Utilized the deck a ton and enjoyed the deer, turkey, and plethora of other wildlife. Would not be good for work as the internet wasn't super strong and would drop out occasionally, not terrible, just had to log back in.
