This cabin was wonderful! It was so clean, plenty of bedding/pillows/towels. The beds were very comfortable. The outdoor deck was great to enjoy the weather! We will definitely stay again :)
We had a lovely time staying at the Duke Cabin! We enjoyed our stay at this tranquil forest oasis away from the hustle and bustle of the valley. The property is beautiful and close to rivers and hiking. Thanks so much to the amazing owners who ensured we had a wonderful stay. We hope to be back soon!

Thank you so much for the nice words Mary. We are so happy your family enjoyed your stay! Our family loves to play games as well. We tried to stock all the favorites. We look forward to seeing you again soon!
The Duke House was wonderful!! Looks great in the pics and even better in person. Plenty of room and well equipped with what you need to cook a meal to enjoy on the deck. Love that the deck has a gate which is great to keep pets and kids confined when enjoying the wonderful weather! Looking forward to another visit in the future.

I am so glad you enjoyed your stay in cool country! We would love to see you again on your next visit!
We had a great time and it would have been perfect for spiders and spiderwebs we needed to deal with. That being said the hosts were amazing and I think we were the first for the season to stay so that can be expected. They appreciated us being honest about it so they could get it taken care of right away! We would stay again!
We had a wonderful time here. The property was just as described. It truly fit our family perfectly. There were 8 of us but could have easily fit more. We safe around the large table each night playing family games and explored the neighborhood during the day while we played in the snow. I cannot praise Rhonda enough. There ended up being a delay getting out due to a big storm and Rhonda was so kind and more worried about our safely than the late departure.
Perfect cabin for a snow weekend with sledding hill!!!
My family and I rent cabins in different areas in AZ on a annual basis and this was one of our favorites. This cabin is perfect if you are looking to have fun in the snow. The property has a sledding hill which the kids and adults enjoyed so bring your toboggans and snow gear. The house accommodated multiple families and one dog, however the property was not fenced in so if you have a dog that runs off it may not be suitable for you. Also, the stairs down to the basement are a bit slippery so be cautious especially if you have young kids and the basement is a bit colder than the rest of the house. The host responded timely to any concerns or questions we had throughout our stay.
