This place was easy to get to, easy to find and pretty roomy for a cabin in the forest. Our visit was during the big snow storm during Presidents Week in Feb 2026 and we got snowed in, which was fun. There is a two car parking spot, then stairs going down to the front door. The cabin is on a hill so it has two decks and a nice firepit outside (which we couldn't use because snow). The host was easy to get a hold of and very responsive, which we appreciated. We'll go back during the summer and I'm sure the place will have a whole different vibe!

Great cabin

This cabin was so great, and is so central to many fun spots to go to both in summer and winter. My kids loved having a fire outdoor and exploring around the house. Will definitely stay here again.

Great location for adventure

Had a great time staying at Nick's cabin. The cabin was well appointed and is located in an area that provides easy access to Highway 108 and all of the surrounding activities. We did some fishing at Pinecrest and some Jeeping in the high country. I would recommend the cabin to friends and family and will look forward to staying here again.

Family snow trip

The property was good for our family and accommodated us perfectly. It is a little funky because it’s an older cabin. It did have an intense smoky smell but we got over it after the first night. The cabin was clean and easy to get to. It was also warm and cozy even while snowing outside and heated up quickly upon our arrival. I would recommend bringing pillows from home, the ones provided are very uncomfortable but standard “hotel” quality. Overall a great experience.

A Great Time Had By All

Unseasonably warm, but we loved our stay at Nick's cabin. I've rented many homes through VRBO and have never had so many amenities provided. Chris thought of everything we could possibly need. We took advantage of many mornings and evenings on the deck and used the fire pit multiple times. It was like having an evening campout with the luxury of cabin living. For renters with young children, the cul-de-sac was perfect for nightly whiffle ball competitions. The cabin is centrally located between Twain Harte where we golfed, ate at "The Rock" and played miniature golf and Pinecrest Lake where we swam, hiked and rode horses at Aspen Meadows. Fly fishing in the nearby streams was also enjoyed by many of us. It was a great family reunion which left us with great memories. Thank you, Chris, for making your wonderful cabin available to us.

Great week!

the cabin is great. Wifi and cell phone (AT&T) reception were strong and clear. I needed to do some work each morning so this was important. AC was a godsend. it was hot and the smoke one day would have been overwhelming without it. Place was clean and the towels were nice. The only thing to note is that there are stairs from the street that made loading and unloading a bit challenging for older folks. Great deck and firepits that made for a fun area for family and friends to gather. thanks for sharing your special place.

Booked this cabin for a summer get away with family and we loved every part of it. The rooms were spacious and plenty, everything was super clean. The area was so beautiful and the surrounding activities were excellent, from the lake to the movies under the stars and the river everything was so great. Only thing we were disappointed with was in the picture of the house when we booked, it showed a hammock but it wasn't there :(.

Thanks Chris for a wonderful weekend at your cabin!

Chris was an excellent host! He was very accommodating and very quick to respond with any questions. He was also flexible with check-in and had a 12pm check-out, which was extremely helpful. The place was very clean and had all of the necessities for a weekend getaway! The cabin was even better than the pictures! It was updated and very clean. Only encountered minor issues - wifi connection could've been better, hot water ran out quickly if both showers were simultaneously in use, etc. Overall though, my group of family & close friends had a great weekend getaway!
