Medern and Clean Stay

The property was clean and a nice small space to stay in. My family stayed for 4 nights and 3 days. I would wonder if two twins in one bedroom will help when you have children with you. One child had to sleep on the couch because they can not share a bed (male and female). I cooked most nights. Pots and pans were on the smaller side to make a large meal but I made due. Hot tub isnt in a very private area but the neighborhood was private enough. Overall it was a great stay and close to all the places we visited. We did stay with our dog and there is no fenced in area, which we did know about so we planned accordingly.

Nice cabin but on a steep hill. Parking is narrow and a little difficult. Porch gets lots of evening sunlight and less comfortable in summer. Location is good. Love the area.

Good value

Listing was spot on about what was available. Beds were comfortable, but wobbly. We ended up sleeping in separate rooms because when one would turn over, it would wake the other up - at times it felt like i was on a bobbing boat. Would definitely recommend bringing ext

This place was excellent. From the booking to checking out, everything was so easy. If you want a peaceful relaxing getaway this is your cabin. It’s a perfect place to sit in the hot tube and watch wildlife wander through. It was a decent distance from any neighbors so I was able to take my dog out for potty breaks without disturbing anyone. The cabin was in excellent condition and perfectly clean. I will keep this place in my mind for future stays

A niche of heaven

Absolutely loved the size, setting and overall experience of this cabin! There are no properties directly next door. To the right is land, behind is a pretty ravine and empty lots across the street. The covered porch is ideal; lit with soft lights at night. The rooms are comfortable and have simple and beautiful decor. Love the open floor plan of the kitchen into the living room. The recent upgrades show themselves off and add to the overall comfort and flow of the space. We loved the hot tub! Would only recommend a little privacy fencing added to porch. Only other feedback would be to bring extra blankets and firewood to enjoy your time in this lovely space!

Easy process

The check in process was super easy and timely. The house was perfect for our weekend. Close to everything we went to but far enough to not be in middle of everyone. Could have used a large skillet but that’s just if you’re a cook like me.

Upper Canyon Beauty

A comfortable, cute and cozy cabin away from the crowded midtown area located in a quiet neighborhood. The kitchen was stocked with all the basic cooking essentials. A short five minute drive to Perk Canyon Trailhead. The hot tub was perfect after a long day of hiking.

Great trip!

We had a bit of a bumpy start but the property managers were prompt and addressed all the issues even late into the night. The house is perfect for kids! Our 1 year old did laps in the house without us having to worry about him getting into anything. Perfect location to all the down town shops. SOOOOOOO clean! If you're staying for an extended time be sure to bring your kitchen LOL. They have a few pans but mixing spoons and other cooking utensils are pretty limited. We will definitely be back again.
