10/10 Excellent
"Perfect location, close to everything. Shops, food spots, grocery store, and short little drive to the Lake. Locals are so friendly and the smell of the air is so amazing-trees and nature-clean air. The cabin is fabulous and cozy. We enjoyed cooking and listening to records just as much as we loved our dinners out. Beds are so comfortable and rain down shower head was divine. Cabin has everything you need for a lovely time. Very quiet at night. Neighborhood is safe and enjoyable to walk in. Lumberjack cafe right across the street has the most insane sourdough waffles-to die for. Host is friendly. House is well stocked. I highly recommend this property."
