The house and property was perfect for our girls weekend getaway in the mountains. We loved our time in the hot tub, lounging on the deck under the trees with the sounds of the stream nearby. We might make it an annual trip!

Beautiful house. Big enough where the kids had their own space from the adults. Comfortably accommodated two families. The home was a bit steep outside for my senior dog, but my hubby and I would carry him to more level ground. Alex was a very responsive host. The house was a bit of a walk from town for the kids and our senior dog, so we drove the last two days into town. We had privacy and it was nice and quiet. Definitely recommend.

We had such a great stay! The house had so much space and was perfect for our girls’ weekend. There were plenty of beds and bathrooms for everyone, and we loved both outdoor decks. Everything was clean, well stocked, and thoughtfully set up with everything we needed. The driveway even fit all four of our RAV4s! The neighboring houses are a little close, so we were mindful of noise, but it wasn’t an issue. The host was also super friendly and easy to communicate with. Overall, we had a perfect weekend and were so happy we booked this house!

This cabin is excellent for a group with plenty of room to spread out comfortably. Our group of six adults and one dog enjoyed ourselves during our 6 day stay. There are lots of stairs, so be prepared for that! This is an excellent cabin for a charming and unique experience and Alex the host was very responsive with communication.

Great house, but needs better cleaning.The house itself is a winner. Tons of space to spread out, the game room was a huge hit, the kids loved the double bunk beds, and the outdoor space is genuinely amazing-quiet and serene the whole stay.The cleaning didn't match the house, though. Dust everywhere, like it hadn't been dusted in a long time, and the deck was covered in spider webs and leaves. The upstairs bathtub/shower situation was like showering inside a ziplock bag.I understand this is a log cabin, but there must be a better way to keep the house dust-free. This is a huge issue for people with allergies. And blowing off the deck prior to guest check-in would've been nice.The last day of our trip, we found a mouse in the house.

Thanks for staying. Always tough to not get 5 stars especially when this is only our 2nd time in 6 years getting 3 stars. All that said I will take the feedback and be sure that the cleaning crew that comes before and after every stay is thorough. I hope you find the accommodations that meet your standards in the future. As a suggestion a cabin or house in the middle of the mountains may not be the right fit for your crew.

Our group had such a great time! There was plenty of space for everyone without feeling cramped. The property itself is gorgeous, really set in nature and exactly what we were looking for. Everything was spotless when we arrived and it was stocked it really well. The games were a nice touch and kept the group entertained at night. Super cozy atmosphere that made it feel like a home away from home. Would 100% come back!

We loved at stay in this beautiful cabin. The rooms were all well appointed, clean, comfortable. The kitchen had all the essentials we needed for cooking. We were traveling 4 adults and three kids and everyone had space to do their own thing and also lots of space for being together, playing games, etc. We had so much fun! The owner was great, accomodating, and responded quickly to messgaes. Overall a fantastic getaway. We will definitely stay here again and recommend this place highly.

This cabin was perfect for our family gathering! There was more than enough room for everyone to feel comfortable. We loved that the house felt remote, but was a very quick drive or easy walk down to the town. Our kids and dog had the best time playing outside. There were so many places to relax under the trees and enjoy the sound of the water running through the creek. The host was also very responsive and had so much information already prepared to make sure we had a great stay. I hope we get the chance to come back!

Cabin was perfect for our large party. Plenty of room, beds, and space! Host was also very communicative leading up to and during our trip. Only thing to critique if we had to was the people staying on the bottom floor said not having a curtain on the door while sleeping on the bunk facing the door was a little creepy. Lol

Thanks for staying at our Cabin! I love the feedback about the blinds on the downstairs door. With kids staying in the bunk room I can see how that would be creepy. I'll put that on the list and get it done!

Would definitely stay here again! Was a lovely cabin that slept 10 adults VERY comfortably. Alex was a great host and we enjoyed our stay very much. Love the cabin’s location, it is well laid out with furniture and amenities (hot tub is the best!) and we were appreciative it came with essentials such as spices for cooking and wood for the stove. Really appreciated the check-in and check-out processes were simple and easy and whole stay went fantastic with no issues. Highly recommend for a magical stay in the woods!
