Awesome place to stay! The cabin is beautiful and cozy! It had more amenities than most other VRBOs I’ve stayed. The kitchen stocked with every utensil/equipment I needed (including sharp knives…as a cook it was something I appreciated). The bathroom was had plenty of soaps and soft towels. The bed was so comfortable! The whole house was clean and inviting. The property grounds are charming. Relaxing area to sit and listen to the creek. Literally a quick walk to the hot springs trailhead. Perfect location as a home base for fishing or hiking adventures. The price per night I thought was extremely reasonable for the area. I would definitely stay here again.

Great cabin within walking distance of Goldbug Hot Springs. Dog friendly and very clean. The kitchen has been recently renovated. The property has a great outdoor area that is amazing for napping next to the creek.

Second time renting from the host. They’re great! The house was very clean (as always). I love the location. Although there is another home on the property, it’s never interfered with my stay at all. You still feel secluded and have your privacy.

What a beautiful and amazing property and location. My fiance and I absolutely had an amazing weekend. The cabin is so comfortable, cozy, and private. The location access to the trail of the springs is unbeatable. The cabin had everything we needed and then some for the same comforts of home. We will definitely be back to visit. Thank you so much.
