What a beautiful home and location! We enjoyed ourselves immensely and would come back again if we head to that area again. We did have issues with the water pressure while we were there, but wasn't sure if that was a mountain cabin thing or not. Thank you for being a great host!

Great secluded cabin in a nice neighborhood

Cabin was the perfect size for our family, situated in a gated neighborhood. We maybe saw one or two people the whole time. My son loved fishing in the pond on the property everyday. The game room was great along with the hot tub!

Elizabeth, a five star experience is extremely important to us. Pictures of the house were taken in February 2022- was there anything in particular about the house that did not meet your needs? Landscapers have since been sent out. Thank you for your feedback!

Mom& daughter get away

Property was very clean and organized! Owner left many staple items for guests to enjoy and replace if they wanted to (but not obligated). Check in and out was super easy. Game room and hot tub were upscale and clean. Gated neighborhood was very nice and home was easily accessed by any type of vehicle. Pond on Property was not in best condition due to nature overgrowth but a much larger pond was just down the street near the playground. I would recommend this home for sure.

Gorgeous cabin getaway

Woodland Hills was just the relaxation we needed. The cabin looked brand new and we slept terrific in the king sized bed. We felt spoiled by morning coffee in rocking chairs out on the sunny porch that overlooks the pond, and made friends with 2 hawks that did fly-overs each day. The big, outdoor firepit was a cozy end to the nights. But the best part was the huge gameroom with giant jenga, darts and a ping-pong table. It was unexpected & fun to have a separate space to hang out. We did take an excursion to a local winery and ended up bringing several bottles home. Can't wait to return to these mountain views!
