One of our favorite places

We have stayed here several times for our anniversary & plan on being back. We always have a fun, relaxing time. Theres a hot tub, fishing, & a fire pit on the property. We typically go on a hike and/or to a winery during our stay. Ive only seen one negative review on here & honestly no clue what was wrong with them cuz its a perfect place for some rekaxation. There is a house across the pond but never felt like we were being watched or anything like that. There is a dog that vusits but hes sweet! Just dont keep any food outside unattended just in case. Highly recommend!

Perfect girls’ trip

We have stayed with Geloria several times, and each time is even better than the last! If you’re looking for a peaceful spot to relax and recharge, this is it. The cabin is quaint, cute, clean, and stocked with all the essentials. We had the privilege of watching the first hummingbirds of the season. Geloria is the perfect host, and look forward to staying here again!

Thank You for a Wonderful Stay at Hummingbird Cabin

Thank you for hosting us at your lovely cabin for our anniversary weekend! We truly enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and all the thoughtful touches that made our stay so relaxing. You provided everything we needed, and we felt right at home. Your kindness and attention to detail did not go unnoticed. The owners are nearby but very respectful of privacy. A tip for future guests: be careful not to miss the driveway on your way in. We had a wonderful time and hope to visit again in the future!P.S. Be aware of the neighborhood furbabies—they are very friendly and sweet!The Johnson (from Chicago)

The peace we needed

Without a doubt this has been one of my best VRBO stays. The property was ready to go and when when the property owner learned we drove for over 5 hourd she even let us check in a little early. The property was set us so every room is cozy and warm and the hot tub was clean and ready for use. Miss. Gloria was a pleasure to work with and very responsive, it was nice to have her and her son so close in case we needed them right away. It rained one day and the firewood we had set out was wet so Ricky (Miss. Glorias son) brought more fresh dry wood. We are looking forward to more visits here in the future. If i could give Miss. Gloria and her property 10 stars i would. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay.

Inaccurate Description Of Property

This listing is inaccurate because this is not a cabin at all. It is a converted shed or manufactured home. It is also not secluded at all. There is literally a house(owners?) right across the "pond", not shown in any of the pictures. We felt like we were being watched the entire time and did not get to enjoy the hot tub because of the close proximity of the house across the pond. All three windows did not have curtains which added to the feeling of being watched. Who doesn't have curtains or shades on their windows at home?? The door right across from the bathroom can be viewed from the house across the pond. My wife and I both shot up from bed one morning because we thought someone was breaking into the shed, but it was just the pouring rain bouncing off the metal roof. When we arrived, the shed smelled of some sort of burning odor. The shed is heated by a wall unit with broken buttons in the living room and a small space heater in the bedroom. We were very disappointed with this property and will not be returning, and we will not recommend this listing to anyone we know.

Great Girls’ Getaway

We’ve been coming back to this cabin for a girls’ getaway for the past few years. The cabin is the perfect place to relax and unwind. We spend most of the time sitting on the deck and enjoying the sights and sounds of the pond. The cabin is equipped with everything you need, and weave always found it to be clean and well-maintained. Visiting with the host us one of our favorite parts!

The cutest cabin!

This was such a cute and quiet place! There were no disruptions, and the property was well-maintained and clean. Everything was in working order and set up well. The cabin was easy to find and had a nice pond and porch. We saw hummingbirds, frogs, butterflies, and other small animals. It was the perfect little getaway for a girls' weekend. Very comfortable bed and all the amenities you could want. Plenty of space for two people and comfortable. Thank you!

Weekend trip

When we arrived the cleaner was still inside cleaning and a guy was sitting on the couch. We waited outside for 30 minutes. There were many spiders in every corner of the house and every ceiling fan string. The pond didn’t have many fish but the kids caught 2 or 3 small bluegill. The house had direct tv but we couldn’t watch many things because of a child restriction.

Cozy cabin

We enjoyed our stay at Hummingbird Cabin immensely! The hot tub was wonderful to enjoy in the morning/evening before/after hiking Garden of the Gods, Giant City State Park, Fern Clyffe, and riding our motorcycle. We had a blast catching some bass right off the back porch. One morning we had a great blue heron fly onto the pond, another morning a couple of deer strolled down as well…was a peaceful place to get away! We got to meet the owners, who were very nice and told us to let them know if we needed anything.
