This cabin is older but cozy and comfortable. Long hours of porch setting and access to town is great. Wonderful water pressure, feels like old comfortable home. Pet friendly while watching the deer pass by. Stacy is great to communicate with.

This was our second time staying at El Matador, and we had a great time again. Our host, Stacy was very nice and accommodating. The place is very clean and the heating system works well for our 91 yr old mother!We loved the complimentary pie left for us at check-in.Two minor suggestions: provide a pie server and a set of measuring cups in the utensil drawer.We highly recommend the place!

We were very happy with the cabin. Well stocked with all needs and very easy to find. Convenient location right across the street from many places to eat and browse for souvenirs. Check-in was smooth and the host even left us a best peach pie that I have ever eaten. My children and family loved it, we played board games late into the night. If I am ever in the area again, I wouldn't hesitate booking this place another time. Thank you so much for helping our family experience the area.
