Wonderful Property
Was a fantastic place to be able to spend the week, with two other friends’ families. We were in town for a sports tournament that had days of downtime in between, so the location and sights with hiking options was a great way to enjoy the time. Would definitely stay again!

Gorgeous New Construction
Xanadu is a gorgeous brand new construction cabin in the a gorgeous setting. It's a bit tricky to find and there truly is construction going on around you as other cabins are being built on all sides (wasn't a problem for us on the weekend, but be aware of the background noise of saws and hammering on weekdays). We loved the hiking trail right outside the front door. We loved the views and the mountain air. Cottonwood Lodging was responsive and professional hosts. We would rent here again!

Best group house
One of the best VRBO properties we have ever stayed at. The kitchen had literally everything you would ever need to cook with. The house was new and immaculate. It is in the most beautiful location at the foot of some great walking and biking trails. We will for sure stay again!
