Perfect little cabin!!!

This cabin was absolutely perfect for me, my adult daughter and my 10 year old son! It was cozy and still roomy enough for us to relax and enjoy each others company. The hot tub was a hit for my daughter and I to relax in, after out adventuring during the day. We cooked 3 meals in the cabin during our 2 night stay, so having the kitchen was also a plus! The cabin was clean and came equipped with everything we needed. Great neighborhood! We will definitely stay again!!!! Kylee was a great host!!!

Cool little place.

I enjoyed this property very much. It was very clean and the amenities were very thoughtful. We couldn't get both sets of jets to work on the hot tub but it still felt nice to soak in. We thought no A/C would be a problem in late July but with windows open and fans going it felt great. We did have a small problem with ants but who doesn't during the summer? I would definitely use this property again. It was a good size for 2 guys because of the loft area to sleep. 3 adults could stay comfortably and of family of 4 could make due. Nice and quaint for a party of 2 though!

Excellent Stay

Kylee made this property so cute and accessible! It was the perfect distance from the mountain for snowboarding and restaurants for dinner. Kylee was super helpful with any questions we had.

About the host

Hosted by Kylee Cochran

Host profile image
I have lived half my life in Los Angeles, CA and consider it my home. Everything you can think of is available in this town and within an hour and a half I can be in the mountains at a cabin skiing. While I love being at home, I like knowing that within moments I could be enjoying all the area has to offer. I am a very active person and I’ve spent a great deal of time exploring the great outdoors. The first half of my life was spent growing up in Utah and I’ll always have an affinity for the mountains and pines! I am a marathon runner and love to hike and run wherever I travel. I have 4 wonderful children and they love to help me host in our beautiful home in the city and our picturesque mountain cabins.
