The house was perfectly located for the wedding we attended at Mountain Shadows Retreat. Could not have been better. Also close to nice hiking. We were out of the house most of the day so did not try the lovely amenities. The listing said 3 BR and 2 baths but we only saw 2 BR and 2 bathrooms upstairs and the garage level below the main floor was roped off. So maybe there are additional rooms there?When we first entered the house there was a slight scent of cigarettes but after a while we did not notice it. We had to request additional spoons as there were only 3 for the 4 of us but that was the only concern we had.

We were in Auburn for family baby showerWhen I booked the property is said the property had 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms and living room couch for sleeping arrangements for 8 total peopleWhen we arrived we found a 2 bedroom house with 2 bedrooms and 2 baths and not a comfortable couch to sleep on. Super disappointed. We had 5 people there and I had to sleep on the couch. On top of that there was no bedding, blankets or pillows for the couchOnly the 2 queen beds had blankets and pillowsThe VRBO listing stated there were 2 master suits with bathrooms and a 3rd bedroomThis house only sleeps 4 comfortably. Do not rent this property if you have more than four people on your tripThe host was super nice no problems with the host Super upset the listing info is totally bogus

Quick, but quality getaway!

We booked Seth’s place on a whim and couldn’t be more pleased with how it paid off. The house was lovely, calm, comfy, and well appointed. Seth provided super detailed instructions that made it easy to navigate the check in, check out and operations within the space. He was also super helpful when assisting me with my booking snafu and subsequent challenges after our stay ended. I would not only recommend this space, but would be happy to stay there again myself.

Fantastic!

The cabin is indeed a gem! We enjoyed our stay here very much. The house is well maintained, has a well equipped kitchen, and is nestled among trees. We even got a glimpse of a few deer around the house in the mornings. It has everything we hoped for and more (the bath tub allows you to chase sunsets! How lovely!!) Seth was quick to communicate, and very easy to work with. Overall it was a fantastic stay at Way Woods Retreat. This cabin is definitely our top pick in the Foresthill area.

Beautiful cabin home in a scenic area

Seth's place was gorgeous, both in setting and in terms of the property itself. The bedrooms/bathrooms are excellent and the kitchen had all the tools we needed to prepare multiple meals. Seth was great to communicate with, even when a deer knocked over a plant overnight and it took some investigating to figure it all out. Bonuses on the property include a hot tub and cozy fireplace. We were able to visit multiple nearby trails which were all quiet and scenic, and the home itself is in a pretty forest. Overall, a fantastic stay over a holiday that was all we could ask for.

Beautiful cabin in the woods

Great cabin in great location, away from all the hustle and bustle, but not far enough if you crave the hustle and bustle. We wanted to spend some time in the snow and Seth recommend we drive up about 20 miles from where we stayed, and there was plenty of it. A lot of great local establishments just a short drive. A big bonus was the commodity that we all can’t seem to leave without this days, GREAT WiFi, that makes posible all the streaming services in the middle of the woods while the fire place is going. The cabin had everything you need, toiletries, silverware, towels, pots and pans, TVs, and plenty of board games. All in all we had a very nice time and looking forward to come back. Thanks for the hospitality Seth!

Lovely cabin in the woods

We just came back from a working vacation at Seth's wonderful cabin. Location is terrific, very close to mountain biking trails and many swimming holes. My son took walks in the woods around the house, and discovered many little trails. House itself is very well maintained and has a lot of character. It also has AC, which is no small deal given how hot Forresthill gets in the middle of summer! WiFi is very good as well, and reached all the way to the outside dinning table - so we could work sitting outside looking out. And lastly - a very welcome surprise, both beds were remarkably comfortable! Seth, the owner, was very helpful and attentive. All in all - I highly recommend and would stay there again.

The property needs to update their linens. Bed sheets were unacceptable and the towels were not any better. Hot water took at least 15 minutes to warm up for the shower. One bathroom had a shower curtain that fell down when trying to close it and the other was wide open and super cold. We arrived late at night the house was cold no heat on. Attempted to build a fire but no dry wood, kindling or paper to get it started

Impressed by the pictures..sadly not what the property looks like. In addition, the master toilet leaking sound, the noisy master bedroom fan and the very slick staircase. The pictures show a vast deck...the deck was full of parked cars. Many other inaccuracies.😒 Seth did give us a later check out time..this was due to the check in process problem

All accommodations were met. The guest stated they were very happy with the Lovely Cabin House.. Guests should be subjective and be willing to balance the review by leaving positive comments and what they liked as well. This includes, comfortable beds, clean house, great views, wonderful hot tub, good location, etc… Read other reviews....🙏
