Would definitely stay here again! Was a lovely cabin that slept 10 adults VERY comfortably. Alex was a great host and we enjoyed our stay very much. Love the cabin’s location, it is well laid out with furniture and amenities (hot tub is the best!) and we were appreciative it came with essentials such as spices for cooking and wood for the stove. Really appreciated the check-in and check-out processes were simple and easy and whole stay went fantastic with no issues. Highly recommend for a magical stay in the woods!

Rustic accommodations, generally clean, kitchen equipment well stocked. E-entertainment in excellent order. A bit dark at night due to low wattage light bulbs, although make sure all light switches have their dimmers on high for best lighting. Two flights of stairs, down to property, are poorly lit, bring a flashlight. Overall cozy and quaint, property owner very eager to help with any property issues, should they arise.

The Creek-Side Cabin was wonderful & the host, Alex, was amazing to work with. The attention to detail in the home made our stay so smooth, comfortable & enjoyable. We loved the decor of the home and the beds were so comfortable. The kids loved The Goonies room and all the games to play with. The hosts really have thought of everything to make this a fun & memorable stay. The grounds were beautiful & we loved listening to the creek while relaxing on the deck. We hope to come back soon. Thank you!!

Great location and plenty of room for grandparents, parents and children. Nice bedrooms upstairs, and bunks on lowest level. So nice to have the hot tub after hikes. The washer/dryer are a plus. There is a small creek at the bottom of a steep hill, so the cabin is not really "creek-side".

This is a great property for families in a quiet, private neighborhood along the creek. We were there during a heatwave, but the window AC units were amazing! The tvs, the games inside and out, the home layout, the spa-everything was as listed and perfect for a family group with many kids, especially those “tweens”. The kitchen had everything I needed for family cooking; we did all meals at the house. I used the bbq as an oven as well as a grill-works great! New stove in kitchen is very nice! With three bathrooms, we never had an issue. We’ll be back, for sure.

Amazing Escape

Such a wonderful, serene property. Perfect distance from town, so we could get a little daily exercise in. The kids loved being able to just play in the backyard all day on the swings and then came in at night and played some more with all the fun board games, cards, and building toys they had inside. Spacious layout, and the old furnace made it magical!

Amazing Mountain Cabin

We stayed at the cabin for a girls weekend and the cabin was perfect! There are plenty of comfortable beds, lounging areas, a warm wood stove, and just an overall cute, cozy cabin. The communication with the host was great and he even made sure the road, driveway and stairs were cleared of snow for us. We will definitely be back!
