Excellent stay and even when we had an issue with the oven due to a tripped fuse the service from Jamie was exceptional.

It was excellent. The Cougar Den was much larger than the pictures showed. It had everything we needed, and very comfortable. Would definitely stay here again!
We had a very enjoyable stay. The property looks exactly like the photos. Comfortable beds, extremely clean, good water pressure for showers. Our hosts were thoughtful and communicative. We highly recommend staying at the Cougar Den.

Quiet retreat with great location!
Easy walk to and from town. Beautiful home with tons of light and open, natural feel. Host very responsive. Listing on VRBO did not disclose there is a tenant living in the basement so you don’t have the house to yourself. Also does not disclose quiet hours. Would be helpful to also add a host book with WiFi code, but our 5G worked fine. Also VRBO has listed as 1 bedroom, but it has 2 bedrooms and 2 baths. Some work to do to communicate expectations, but I’m sure that will come with time. Would still recommend for quiet retreat.
