Great little cabin!

We had a short stay here and it was great for a quick weekend trip. It's close to the mountain and the shops and restaurants. It's on the smaller side but perfect for two people on a quick ski weekend getaway. I would rent again!

COZY & COMFORTABLE

Plenty of cookware, towels and blankets. No regular refrigerator, but had 2 mini refrigerators. Instructions said to put dishes in dishwasher and start the wash when you leave, but there was no dishwasher. The king size bed was Super Comfy! We didnt like the fact that we had to take our trash with us. (That was kind of weird) Overall, it was a great place to stay in a nice neighborhood. I would come back again. Thank you

Cozy cabin in the woods

3.5 stars which rounds up to 4. The air conditioning didn't work, which was a bummer staying there during the hottest days of the summer. The floor always felt dusty, but it is a rustic cabin. The backyard has SO much wasted potential. It's a super cool space, but its not kept up and very dirty. I washed off the porch with a hose then did everything on the back porch under the tall pines and string lights, like eat meals, work on my bikes, read, just amazing. The neighbors are wonderful and so friendly. Perfect location and awesome coffee shop within a 5 minute walk.

Cozy Cabin

Very cute and cozy cabin perfect for two people. It was a little cramped in the bedroom walkway but didn’t take away from the overall experience. Nice for a weekend getaway.

Not worth the money

They charged us well over $200 per night for this accommodation, we were extremely disappointed in the quality of the place for this price. The living room window had no blinds or covering, and was directly next to the neighbor's house where we could see perfectly into their living room and them into ours. It was very awkward and uncomfortable where we didn't even feel like we wanted to use the living room due to another family having full view for the entire evening and day. Cleanliess was par and kitchen was minimal stocked. Also they did not provide any firewood so that was an additional cost that we had to go out and pay for. This place needs to lower the nightly price for this to have felt like it was worth staying here again.

Cottage in the pines

Cabin very small. Bedroom very tight and bathroom also. No face clothes to wash with. No mat in tub almost broke my neck. Cabins are too close together but overall cozy.

Tiny rental

Property too tiny ... no air flow in the house even though all the windows were opened and fans were on. It’s very hot in the house. No place to put a carry on luggage in the bedroom. It’s too rustic for us. The bed is too huge for the tiny bedroom that I can’t walk around - we were supposed to stay 4 nights - we ended up asking property management to change our rental to a lager one with better conditions.

Perfect cottage in the woods

My girlfriend and I had a wonderful stay at this Cabin. Perfect for the two of us, small place but had everything we needed. We really loved the wood burning stove and it was also very clean. Highly recommend.

Cute, small and cozy

It was tiny (approx 650 sq ft) , so expect to keep your gear in the living room and get dressed in there as there is no room in the bedroom! Very cute and cozy though. Dog friendly, which we loved! We brought my husky and little chi, they did great! Quiet neighborhood for having so many properties on small lots. You still had a sense of privacy. It reminded me of beach houses, with only small walk spaces between houses. Thank you, we really enjoyed our stay!
