Very comfortable and convenient
This was an easy place to find, check in and we enjoyed being tucked in mountainside behind us, yet a short walk downtown to shops, eateries and cafes (I recommend the downtown Deli and Bakery for breakfast and the Lemongrass Bar and Kitchen for dinner). Beds were very comfortable, even the pullout couch was a nice matress and there were plenty of pillows and blankets. The layout is a little odd as you walk in front door to the bedroom, but it is nice to have the two bedrooms. Host was great! Easy keycode texted to me to check in and fireplaces - 2 of them, plus living room heater- were glowing on our arrival which was a nice greeting. The porch is nice and wild turkeys and deer graze in the morning right across the street.

Perfect location and Very Enjoyable
Very clean and comfortable. Enjoyed all the deer watching, the Tap Room, the outdoor space available to us. Maggie in the Tap Room was very welcoming and we enjoyed visiting with her. My suggestion would be a more detailed list of amenities on the VRBO site and the property provide kitchen towels/dishcloths.

Cabin 6
The location is great, 2 blocks in from main drag, easy to walk to shops, restaurants. The only thing we didnt care for was the size of the sink in the bathroom...barely large enough to brush your teeth. But there are not alot of options as the bathroom is small. Overall, it was enjoyable. Would we stay again? Maybe in another cabin with a bigger bathroom sink!
