We had a lovely time. The fireplace made the space so cozy. The location was very convenient and easily walkable to town, restaurants and shopping. It was private and kid friendly. Would definitely stay in this property again.

Thanks Jennifer! We are so glad you enjoyed the home and your stay with us. We hope to see you again soon!
We had a great time and the cottage was perfect for our needs! When we arrived, the porches had a lot of debris from the outside and on the furniture but a text to the property manager resolved it promptly! A wonderful woman came over and completely cleaned it all for us and we were able to enjoy the beautiful weather and our 18 month old granddaughter could play on the porch with us! We were grateful for the service and kindness!

Great location, easy walk to downtown shops and restaurants. Park with trails to Mill Creek just a minute away. Very nice house on quiet street. Everything was lovely and we had a great stay. Would rent again in a heartbeat.

Thanks so much Cindy! We're glad you had a good time in the cabin.
We enjoyed being so close to everything and having such a great porch to enjoy the sounds of the river. The house feels secluded in the mountains, but it is right downtown. We suggest you walk to breakfast at the Blue Bike Cafe one morning.
