The Space:
Our family-friendly cabin is packed with amenities and fun for couples, families or groups of friends.

The cabin includes:
- Two bedrooms, both with queen beds
- Fully-stocked kitchen with stove/oven and microwave
- Smart TV where you can quickly sign-in to your favorite streaming service
- WiFi that's more than enough to stream movies and hold video calls – perfect for working remotely
- Wood-burning stove to keep you cozy on those cool winter nights (we also have electric heat and AC to keep you comfortable!)
- An outdoor yard game treasure box full of activities for kids and adults: cornhole, volleyball, soccer balls, horseshoes, and many more!
- Brand new hot tub, perfect for unwinding after a long day

Outside the cabin, we also have:
- Huge screened-in porch with a grill
- Outside fire pit with seating for the whole gang

We often take our two little kids and dog to the cabin with us, so we're very family- and dog-friendly. The cabin is also all on one level, so no concerns with stairs.
By the way, the house tap water is supplied by a well on the property. While the water is perfectly safe to drink, if you're used to city/non-well water you may notice a slight mineral taste or smell -- and you may want to consider bringing bottled water from home.

Beyond the cabin itself, we love how close we are to Bryce Resort (about a 10 minute drive away). The resort has tons of things to do – from skiing and snow tubing in the winter, to swimming, kayaking, and golfing in the summer. And of course, many great restaurants, bars, and shops as well. Plenty to keep everyone entertained!

Not what we expected!

I would like to start by saying that we rarely feel the need to provide a negative review and are not high maintenance people at all. First thing we noticed upon entering the cabin was the unfavorable smell of sulfer. When running the water (with an outdated brita filter - that did nothing) it was difficult to stand nearby because the smell was so bad. Next shocker was the horrible rust staining (again from the well water) in the bathroom sink, toilet and shower. We decided right then that we would pick up gallons of water and only used the tap water when we absolutely had to. When informing Tony of this issue the next morning he admitted that the sulfur smell came from the well and "sometimes carries a natural sulfur and we'll look into options to improve". This can't be the first complaint nor do I think it's the first time he has used that response. Next issue was the cleanliness of the dishes due to not having a dish washer. Multiple glasses had a noticeable oily film on them and some of the dishes had particles remaining. We basically washed every item we used to be safe. The coffee maker was another issue (not sure if I will be able to share pictures) but the glass pot was hard to see thru and the part the filter sits in was crusty from lack of cleaning. Lighting in the kitchen area makes it extremely difficult to see during evening hours. Heat in main room is a portable unit that is really loud. I would avoid this place!

Quiet Holiday Getawaty

What a cute cottage! Very clean and cozy. We enjoyed the fireplace and the screened in porch. It rained most of our stay but we did get one dip in the hot tub, which was so relaxing. We cooked all of our meals in the kitchen and on the grill. Very well-equipped kitchen, all the cookware we needed. Well water takes getting used to and the hot tub is in direct view of the neighbors deck, but nothing major. Tony was an amazing host and checked in often and was also very responsive. We'll be back.

Not at all what the ad shows.

Looking at this property online, it looks very nice, clean, & secluded. None of these things are true. Starting out, the cabin's location looks secluded, but there are neighbors on both sides. As you sit in the hottub, you're looking at the deck & windows of the house next.door Also no matter how you come in, you will have to travel 1/2 mile on steep gravel roads. Not a big deal as we like to explore in our Jeep, but a bit more interesting getting my sportbike out, but that's my fault for not asking before trailering it down. The residense itself just has a dirty rundown feel. We walked into a stained couch in the living room that is in none of the pictures. The shower is closed in the pictures cuz the walls are stained & bubbling. The water is extremely hard/sulfer & every fixture is corroded or rust stained. The weather was cool while we vacationed. Highs in the 70s. There is no central air or heat. There are 2 floor AC units in the bedrooms & and heat/AC in the living area. The bedroom AC units are completely in the way, making a small room even smaller. You can barely move them as they have a large duct pumping out the open window. Even with the cool nights, the AC could not keep up. It was a constant temperature swing as the unit tried to keep the room at 70°. Other huge disappointment was the screened in porch. The screen doesn't mean much when the floor has 1 inch gaps between the boards for bugs to come up thru. There is a lot more, but I'm out of room to type.

About the host

Hosted by Tony Cappaert

I live in DC with my wife and three young kids. I love camping/hiking, drinking (and sometimes brewing) great beer and wine, exploring new restaurants and shops, and traveling all over.

Why they chose this property

We spent years searching for the perfect getaway, and wanted to be close enough to DC that we could do a day trip. We fell in love with the area – and Red Cedar Grove in particular. We love how cute and cozy our cabin is, and all the fun outdoor activities we can enjoy year-round. :)
