Cranberry Ridge - Ridge Point
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (29)
"My friend and I wanted to get away for the weekend to catch up, so we decided to go with this cabin. It was perfect for what we needed - super cozy, the beds were comfortable and clean. The only complaint I have as far as cleanliness was the amount of dog hair that was on the couch/living area. Otherwise it’s a great location right next to downtown! I would recommend."

"The home is very spacious and comfortable. Very nice furnishings with so many extra pillows :) The kitchen is well appointed and clean. The location is great, but there is serious construction in progress on Front Street. Neighbors upstairs were moving furniture and practicing walking in high heels in the evening and into the early morning. I slept through it but my teen could not. We had a great first visit to TC and this was a very convenient place for home base."

"This property was home to our group of 8 golfers this past weekend. All of the guys really enjoyed the setting. Fishing from the dock. Paddling the kayaks on the Crystal River. Sitting around the campfire. Watching the big TV in the family room. Eating meals in the screened-in porch while overlooking the river. This is an expansive house with plenty of room for everyone to enjoy. Book it now. You will love it. Communication with the property manager (Dylan) was excellent. Very speedy...
