This was our second time staying at this cabin and it was once again beautiful and absolutely breathtaking! Everything met our expectations - amazing scenery, calming trees all around, soothing sounds of the river flowing, cute little critters/birdies, etc. Our senior dog enjoyed his cozy naps near the fireplace and the kitchen was fully stocked for all of our cooking needs. My family and I were able to enjoy our Easter Sunday meal together and we couldn't have picked more of a perfect place! Thank you Cindy and Rick for your hospitality and for sharing your beautiful home with all of us! We will be coming back to keep this tradition going!

We enjoyed a wonderful time with our son and his family at this beautiful log home on the river. Attention to detail was immediately obvious upon arrival. The log home is a work of art and the owners take the time and money to keep it well maintained. Nice quiet neighborhood with the sound of the river in the background. Extremely clean home with no obvious signs of being pet friendly other than the large dog bed that was much enjoyed by our family dog. Check in and check out was a breeze. We will definitely stay here again!

What a great cabin in Hope Valley! We've been coming up here for many years and always loved the fall as the aspens are changing colors. This cabin was perfect as it was set among the aspens as well as being right next to the West Carson river. Easy access to the river as well with some good fishing pools.The cabin itself was great and cozy. It also had things to keep our little one entertained. And there was a high chair if your little one needs one. We would definitely stay here again given the opportunity! Thanks for having us!

One of the best places we’ve stayed in a long time. Great location, friendly neighborhood and inside the cabin was amazing. The owners communicated with us very nicely and promptly over the VRBO app if we had any questions. If you’re looking to stay in the area, this place has to be your choice.
