We have experience with scores of rentals and this was one of my top 3 experiences. The hosts thought of every detail, its was clean comfortable and convenient to everything. I never chose a one room cabin before but this one was so bright and airy and artfully decorated that I didn’t feel cramped.

This property did not meet our expectations, as described on VRBO. We found much of the description to be false or exaggerated. It was convenient to town.

Great place to stay
We had a one night stay here on our way to Reno for the America concert. Beautiful neighborhood, so quiet it soothes the soul. Had a good morning jog in light rain. Don’t miss the South Pine Cafe!! Wonderful place.

Comfy, cute cabin
Nice, quiet, and comfortable, with cute decorations and nice amenities. Close to town but feels secluded.
I enjoyed my stay at this cute little miners cabin. It’s a very quiet and peaceful setting, yet close to town. This is a great place for a short stay and was a fantastic value. I would stay again if in this area.
