Everything was great! The host was nice to work with - especially considering we were coming the day of a winter storm. She was easy to get in touch with, stayed in open communication and was very accommodating considering the conditions. Overall the house was very nice too! The bed was SO comfy, and the wood burning fireplace was perfect!

This cabin is absolutely awesome! Has everything you need in the kitchen. The cabin is so warm feeling, clean, and the beds and furniture so comfortable! Plus it's quiet because it sits at the end of a dead end road! The photos of the cabin in VRBO are exactly what the cabin looks like.

Ms. Cyndie was a pleasure to meet. The cabin was clean and modern. Great layout, and the fireplace was awesome. Very quiet neighborhood and for me the proximity to Townsed was perfect. The bed was very comfortable along with the sofas. Will be staying there again. Highly recommend Trails end. The only issue is the 4 p.m. check-in. Wish it was two or three. Loved our time there.

The Trails End Cabin was amazing, beautiful for our 2 day stay. Wish we had more time there (could have stayed for ever). Owner provided all details for easy check-in Cabin had everything you need. She made a special stop in when we arrived and whirlpool didnt work due to storm surge. Really comfortable bed and pillows.

We had a wonderful stay this week. The house is very nice, comfortable and quiet. You will find everything you need in the kitchen to be able to cook a great meal. Our host thought of everything to make you feel at home when away from home.We lost power the first evening. I contacted Cyndie and she was at the house within 5 minutes and had the power company enroute. She also made sure we had been able to have dinner. The power company restored power and told us an electrician should come check the main breaker. I relayed their suggestions to her and an electrician was there the following morning. I say all this to explain that if you choose to stay here, you will have an exceptional host. We also got to see a mama bear and her twin cubs just outside the cabin one morning.We will definitely stay here again.
Mama and her twins came by for a quick visit before continuing on down the road. The babies took a moment to play on a tree just beside the house.
