We're unable to accommodate pets. Service animals must be declared at booking with proper documentation submitted right away. Undocumented animals will be treated as pets, and the booking may be canceled.



Please take a moment to review our additional house rules. Many are set by the city and enforced through code compliance as part of our permit, so we appreciate your understanding.

It was everything my daughter and I wanted for a trip. It was clean, quiet, lovely and cozy. We wanted to get away from the city noise and that is exactly what we got.

Great little place at a decent price

The property matched the pictures. The checkin process was smooth. Loved that there was the ability to charge my car so I didn't have to wait at the public charging stations. Will definitely recommend!

Cozy little cabin

We loved the vintage feel of the place, nice little kitchen and comfy furniture. The only drawback was the small non-city garbage container which got filled up in short order. Also no recycling bin. We took our garbage and recycling to the Big Bear collection point, which was easy enough. We'd love to come back again. Oh, access the beds are VERY comfortable. We felt at home. We also enjoyed BOTH the Keureg and standard coffee maker, with ground coffee and filters, and Starbucks K-cups included! Thanks!
