Clean, relaxing, had everything we needed. The house was warm and the driveway plowed after a large snow storm. Great place. The second time we stayed and plan to go back again.
House was as advertised, very clean and homey! Alot of comfortable seating and the beds were very comfortable as well! Kitchen is well equipped with everything you would need and plenty of towels/wash clothes for bathroom use. Would definitely stay here again!
We were very satisfied with our trip. We came to stay for sledding at Blackwater Falls State Park, only about 30 minutes away. The house is lovely and felt like home.
Overall, a very welcoming, comfortable atmosphere. My 5yo loved the location and the house itself. He wants to come back.

This is a very comfortable and cozy place for families to stay. quiet, clean, spacious and inviting. Enough kitchen equipment for family to cook. Bathroom was freshly renovated. The owner provided lots of extra supplies so we found everything we needed. Would definitely recommend this place.
It was clean and quiet. Little on the older side, but we just needed a place to lay our heads, relax, and visit the area. Washer and dryer were a positive!
Quick response from the host when needed, house was clean and welcoming and we had everything we needed for our stay. We were very thankful for the warmth of the house since we were there when it was minus temps. Took us about 40 mins to get to Timberline ski resort and that was in icy conditions.
We spent the weekend skiing nearby, so this was a wonderful place to come back and stay at! Clean, and comfy, just what was needed after a long day on the slopes!
VERY clean and such a cozy place to stay. The house was warm. It is well stocked with linens and towels and basic essentials. We would stay here again. Very cozy and peaceful.
This was a wonderful property and I’m so glad we found it. We will absolutely be back!

The house was clean and neat, the area was quiet and it served our needs for a weekend of skiing at Timberline and visiting Blackwater Falls State Park
This cottage was exactly as advertised! The cottage was very clean and had everything we could possibly have needed. Quite and picturesque area with A LOT of deer!My husband and I would definitely stay here again and we would recommend this cottage to our friends and family.
This charming little cabin was the perfect spot for our girlfriends to meet up and enjoy the mountains. It has a nice layout, plenty of comfortable seating for a group, and a cozy vibe. We all agreed we would book this property again for our Thomas visits in the future.
