🐾Our Dog-Friendly Approach We love hosting well-behaved, house-trained dogs over 1 year old. Please send us a message with your dog’s age and breed upon booking so we can confirm suitability. A $100 pet fee per stay applies (unless otherwise noted) to help cover additional cleaning. Our official limit is 2 dogs, but let us know if you are bringing 3. We appreciate you ensuring your furry friend treats the cabin gently, as guests are responsible for any damages beyond normal wear. Please use the designated outdoor pet area and help keep the space clean by picking up after your dog. Some waste stations may be provided for your convenience. A friendly note for guests with allergies: While we thoroughly clean after every stay, please remember this is a dog-welcoming home. If you have severe dog allergies, this may not be the most comfortable environment for you.

It was a wonderful convenient getaway for me and my son to stage someday hiking and sightseeing. It was very cozy and pleasant. The owners were very helpful and responsive. I would definitely book a trip there again.
We enjoyed the cabin. It was quiet and tucked away, but close to restaurants and good walking trails. It was also close to the National park so we could enjoy hikes there. The cabin was clean and comfortable, and we enjoyed the hot tub. Communication with the host was great.
It was perfect for our family of 3 plus our little dog. Close to everything and even had a momma bear and 2 cubs come see us!! Will definitely stay there again this time in the fall when we can use the fire pit!!
We enjoyed our stay very much. Nice cabin and everything was furnished. We just found that someone had not taken care of one of his fryers for cooking , but we just used his newer one. We would, just as a suggestion, a pitcher for tea be added to his collection. Our entire stay was great and bed slept fantastic!! Thanks Derek!
The cabin is perfect for a small family. Close to wonderful food and scenery.
