Our family had a nice time during a snow storm. The location was convenient and the neighborhood was delightful. Beds were fairly comfortable and the home was in good condition. We had good communication with the owners and enjoyed our stay.
Was not prepared for the dining options to largely be closed M-Wed, perhaps that seasonal and only in winter. Had a great stay at the property, communication was clear with property manager.
We reserved this space to attend a family reunion nearby. The space was welcoming and cozy - we loved the kitchen and the deck. Our dog had great fun going up and down the pet ramp in the backyard!
I definitely recommend this space for families or small groups.
Over all was a great stay and fit for the size of family that attended all stated they liked this place much better than another location that was picked from last year. I noticed favorite spot was the bay window overlooking the back next to kitchen seen just staring at the big beautiful trees.

Absolutely perfect
Everything was great from the minute we walked in the door. We all felt like we were home and not in a rental. It was so very clean, and had everything we needed. The back decks views were great, we even walked down to the creek and did a little fishing. We rented this home to be close to family that was camping at Pinecrest, it was a perfect 5 min drive. We will for sure stay here again.

Absolutely wonderful! The outside looks small but open up the front door to nice open living room into a huge kitchen and island with sitting/dining area with a beautiful back window looking over the forest. The beds were so comfortable! Nice and clean home! Great little fenced in area for the pets! Definitely will be staying again! Thanks Shannon for being very responsive!
This house is exactly what the perfect fit for our trip of 4 adults,one kid,and a dog. We came up to the snow to celebrate my parents' 50th wedding anniversary (they met skiing) and this place checked every box. It's in our favorite neighborhood in Strawberry, it's an easy drive to skiing and snow play, it's high enough altitude to turn into a winter wonderland after one small storm, and the house itself is homey, comfortable, cozy, clean, and well stocked. The fact that there are two rooms with comfortable king sized beds is enough to give our stay 5-stars all on its own. That's so rare to find and such a win because a good night's sleep can make or break a trip. Also finding a dog and kid friendly spot that is so clean and well kept and outfitted with comfortable and tasteful touches is such a pleasure as you often have to sacrifice some of those things, especially when traveling with a pet. The little dog ramp from the back deck to the back yard was such a charming touch as well and would have been ideal if our dog hadn't been a bit too big and scared to try it :). We really wouldn't have changed a thing and I expect we will be back again. Highly recommend.
It was an absolutely magical family trip. The house was clean, well equipped and easy to warm up after a long day playing in the snow! Although there is a wonderful furnace and easy to use thermostat, we greatly enjoyed using the fireplace in the living room. We cooked a lot and found everything we needed in the kitchen! The kids loved the bunk bed room and we loved the master! We’re already thinking about next year’s trip!
The communication with Shannon was great. The house/cabin is clean, comfortable, and has plenty of space. We primarily go to Pinecrest to fish and it’s nice to drive 5 minutes back and forth between the house/cabin and the lake. Spacious deck with a nice view of the river. We highly recommend staying here.

Great cabin!
On the outside it doesn’t look like much but inside it’s super cute! Nicely remodeled, plenty of space for families.We walked down the street to fish & swim in the river, quite scenic. Great location, close to Pinecrest lake. We will stay here again!
The cabin was as listed, Shannon was responsive and extremely accommodating. Our family really enjoy the welcoming space and amenities provided. We will definitely recommend and stay again.

Great! Well furnished, pleasing ambiance. Deck was great with good view, could see just a little of the river. Very relaxing, would definitely rent again. Contact person responded quickly to my questions.
Beds were comfortable. Looking out the back was wonderful. You could see the river from there.I had questions and there was a good response time.Check-in was easy and there was plenty of room to park.
