5 star ratings are well deserved

This cabin in the woods was absolutely perfect. No surprises- no wondering how the pictures could have made it look so much bigger. Absolute peace and quiet, unplugged feeling sitting out on the porch but only 10 minutes into town if we needed anything. The cabin was immaculate and welcoming. The heating stove was terrific with separate temp controls for the bedroom. Rob and Vanessa were fantastic hosts, not only giving us a heads-up about a neighbor doing some earthwork ( that we never even heard) but having a few snacks waiting for us as they knew we would not have a chance to stop by Fred Meyer on the way in from the airport. They even offered a few “must see” suggestions. Believe the ratings - this has been one of the best stays we have ever booked on Vrbo.

Beautiful Cottage Retreat!

We had a wonderful stay at this property. It exceeded our expectations and we decided it was just perfect. Rob and Vanessa were responsive and helpful throughout the renting process and our time there. Our cottage was clean, looked brand new and was well stocked with dishes, utensils, pans, linens, soaps, detergents and shampoos. Our bed was comfortable and the laundry facilities were excellent and appreciated as we were there toward the end of our trip. The location of this property was just amazing - in the woods, easily accessible, quiet and beautiful. We so enjoyed our stay. Thank you Rob and Vanessa for a memorable time at your cottage.

Cozy, Quiet and Beautiful

My family visited from out of state and I had them stay here, it was close to our home. It is such a beautifully built tiny home in a gorgeous forested area of Palmer’s farm country. They loved it and want to stay here when they visit from now on. The host was very easy to communicate with. I had requested a drip coffee maker and it was at the cabin when my family arrived. Great host, great place to stay! Highly recommend!
