Great for our weekend trip
Perfect little getaway for us. We have 2 teenagers that enjoyed the loft area. The place was clean, beds were comfortable, and everything was in working order. It was right down the road from all the restaurants and hikes we wanted to do for our weekend trip. Would recommend!

Family getaway
Great cabin to stay in. Not too big but big enough. The stairs to the upstairs bedroom were very steep so I don’t recommend anyone with poor balance to stay up there. Also bring extra pool towels, coffee and filters and soap! Super convenient to lots of activities but far enough away it felt secluded.

Exactly as described - wonderful base for hiking!
The house is lovely, very new and has everything you need for a great stay. It is exactly as the photos/description states.
The hot tub after our hikes was perfect - watching the sun go down & relaxing. The stairs are very steep and could use a handrail on the wall side. If you don't get up in the night it should be fine, but watch any kiddos.
The driveway is pretty steep too, and I'm amazed we didn't meet anyone coming the other way all the time we were there!
The hosts were great - we communicated by text/email and they are super responsive. Thanks Scott & Brittany.
I would definitely recommend, and we're looking forward to staying again next year.

The proximity to attractions was the best part of this stay. The location was squeezed in between a large number of cabins on the hillside. As long as there is no other traffic coming down the driveway, you are fine, but be sure to watch out as there is only enough room for one way traffic to travel down the steep drive. The driveway is accessible however it is a tight squeeze and takes some maneuvering if you have more than one vehicle.
Once inside the cabin, we were disappointed by the lack of cleanliness. The layer of dust on the fridge, fans, and baseboards was very thick. The bed had something gritty in the sheets when we pulled the blanket back. Every dish we tried to use needed to be washed beforehand. Thankfully, the cleaning supply closet doesn’t lock so we were able to sweep up the floors a little. The hot tub was not used because of how much material we noticed in the bottom. There was also trash left under the porch and behind the bedroom nightstand.
The steps up to the bedroom are very steep. If you’re accident prone and use the restroom at night be careful. Overall, this was supposed to be a quick and relaxing trip for my family to celebrate birthdays and ended up being more work than rest.

Perfect cabin and location.
This was a great property. It had everything we needed and was conveniently close to the Natural Bridge and The Gorge. The private trails on the property were an added bonus. The views from the Ridge Trail were way!
