Cabin was clean with many personal touches. Cabin setting was outstanding great view of the mountains while sitting around the firepit looking for the northern lights was very relaxing. Had problem unlocking the cabin door but host was on top of it and quickly. Recommend to anyone to stay at this location.

Wonderful Place to Stay

We showed up late, around midnight. It was cold, freezing, and windy. We weren’t sure which of the two bungalows we got, so that could have been better communicated to us, but we luckily guessed right. The door code worked right away, and it was easy to get in. Nice and cozy warmth inside with a cute fire stove. Really felt like a beautiful safe haven in the midst of that little blizzard. Everything about this place is perfect. The only other nuance is the fridge settings; we were struggling to find the right setting on the dial that didn’t freeze our refrigerated goods, but not mellow enough that the ice cream would melt. The view is worth a million dollars alone, maybe more, actually. It’s in a safe area, somewhat tucked away and elevated and hidden from the major byways of the neighborhood and main roads. The sign indicating the address is sometimes covered by the weekly red rubbish bins, so don’t miss your turn like we did one of the nights, haha. The sign with the address on it is cute, but perhaps it could be elevated to a position above the height of the rubbish take out bins. Long driveway, fresh air, 10/10 comfort. Great price. Would love to visit here again someday—definitely a good Vrbo. We’ve stayed in a lot of places, and these guys have earned every star 100%.
