Weekend Getaway

It was a wonderful cabin in a very nice setting. We enjoyed the fire pit and hot tub during the day. In the evening we sat in front of the fire place and watched movies. Would recommend a slip proof mat for the shower, we about fell a few times.

Extraordinary cabin!

Very cozy, upscale cabin in a great spot - secluded and nice but closer to town than many cabins in the area. Impeccably decorated, wonderful attention to detail. We didn't have a bonfire but everything is there - including a ton of wood. Bugs were light and it was a great and comfortable stay. I highly recommend this cabin, I've stayed in quite a few in the area and this is absolutely the nicest I've found so far.

Perfect Cabin Retreat

The cabin was beautiful, the surrounding area was gorgeous, and the hot tub is amazing. Everything was perfect until I realized that I personally made a scheduling mistake. Our rental ended a night sooner than I thought I had booked, it was my mistake. So I called Allison to tell her we would be leaving asap apologizing for the mistake. She was extremely kind and accommodating. Because no one was staying the next night, she asked if we would like to continue our stay for a very fair price and we very happily accepted. Our anxiety about having to leave asap was totally relieved and we were able to spend another beautiful night at our cabin. This was a perfect way to end our wedding week and I highly recommend to couples or small families. Thank you Allison!

Excellent location, excellent communication, and excellent accommodations. This was exactly what I was looking for, a quiet location in the woods. The property is lovely and they have even created trails on the property to hike, so much I took full advantage of. I highly recommend this location and plan to visit again.

Ah tranquility

Everything was *muwah* (chef’s kiss)! Beautifully appointed, sparkling clean, and in tiptop shape. Not sure what I loved more…that salt spa hot tub, the cozy reading nook, or the peace and quiet that surrounded us all weekend. I almost hated to leave, but we were technically in town to see friends and do some hiking. Fortunately, everything was a quick drive. We saw the trailhead by the cabin too late to go exploring. Next time!

Restful getaway weekend

We really enjoyed our long weekend in Tulipwood cabin. It was the perfect cozy cabin for a quiet romantic weekend. The cabin is tastefully decorated, very clean and very well appointed. I was also pleased that it wasn’t too far to go for shopping and dining. We also enjoyed the hot tub every day we were there. We had such a great time that we can’t wait to stay there again very soon!

Tulipwood Cabin

Tulipwood Cabin is a well appointed cabin in a convenient location for hiking, wineries, and grocery shopping. We enjoyed sitting around a fire every evening and soaking up the peace and serenity. Allison, the property manager, provides a wealth of information for local attractions, restaurants, and various other interests. We are already talking about our next trip to Tulipwood.

Perfect getaway cabin

We had a fantastic stay at this perfect getaway cabin! It was calm, peaceful, clean, organized, and just downright beautiful! We had the best weekend recouping and relaxing and having fun. We hiked and then relaxed in the hot tub, we drank warm tea and played scrabble, and made a fantastic dinner and ate near the fireplace. We felt calm and content surrounded by nature.

Relaxation and hiking

This property was beautiful. It was a home away from home. The owners provided everything we needed. The olive oil was missing so the owner got us more. I also let her know the unit was missing hot mits, but i was able to use a kitchen towel instead. Shampoo/conditioner, body wash, Q-tips, cotton balls, laundry detergent, bug repellent, spices, coffee and more. They also had a hiking trail on the property, wild flowers and a beautiful salt spa hot tub. We will definitely go back again.
