Loved this property! Cabin was tucked in at the end of a very peaceful road. Only one other cabin near it but it was like we were in a remote area. Paved roads & no steep hills but felt like we were inside the national park! Cabin was super clean, well appointed & nicely decorated. We loved sitting on the deck at night…surrounded by nature & quiet! Very pet friendly which is important to us. Set up was great for our elderly Mom who joined us as well. Thank you Cindy for sharing your beautiful home!

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.
