We loved this cabin and the would love to stay here again! Our kids ages 5, 8 and 9 were big fans and loved exploring around the cabin. The only downside was my husband and I thought our bed was fairly uncomfortable, even though it was clean and newer bedding. We’d bring some pillows and blankets next time to be a little more comfortable!

Sanctuary in the woods.

My family and I enjoyed this stay so much! The property was immaculately clean! The decor was delightful, just as you would picture a mountain cabin.Each room was picture perfect.We loved the hut tub and my teens loved the basketball court too.We explored the trails and local shops during the day and came home to a comfortable and cozy spot to relax and unwind.We will return to this rental for sure!As a small side note, the two queen beds upstairs were very firm so, bringing an extra mattress topper along might be helpful if you prefer a softer sleep.

This property was even prettier in person than in the photos! It was clean, had all the conveniences we could possibly need, and still felt cozy. It’s hard to strike that balance between professional and feeling like you’re at home, but these guys do it right. We really appreciated having two different living room spaces as the kids would watch TV downstairs and the adults would go up to the loft and watch our scary shows. I loved walking our dog through the neighborhood and down to the river. We left with a sense of both restoration and joy. Would absolutely stay here again.
