This little cottage was absolutely perfect! Decorated very thoughtfully and updated. We especially loved the reading book, cooper bathtub and hot tub. We saw bears nearly every day. The little river behind was so beautiful and peaceful. We would happily stay again.

Great Honeymoon!

We stayed here for our honeymoon and it was perfect! It was less than a 10 minute walk to downtown but felt like we were far away. They had an adorable guestbook where everyone wrote their experience and where they went, it really helped us decide what to do! We will be staying here again we loved it!

Cozy cabin. Great location - convenient to all the area attractions. Just couple of notes: 1. Direct TV account was not active. 2. Bathroom floor needs to be repaired in front of the shower3. Need seating of some type in the bedroom for ease of dressing4. Need either a step stool in the bedroom for access to the bed for shorter people or notification to bring one if needed.

Thank you for the five-star review! Glad the cabin felt cozy and the location worked well. Appreciate the helpful notes, sorry the DirecTV account wasn’t active; we’ll contact the provider and confirm service is restored. We’ll schedule a repair for the bathroom floor in front of the shower, add seating in the bedroom for ease of dressing, and provide a step stool (and update the listing to note bed height) so shorter guests know what to expect. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back.

Easy walking distance to the shops. Close grocery store. Very quite area and feels secluded even with the cabins packed in. Some tile issues in bathroom but did not feel they were as bad as other comments made them seem. We would stay there everytime without hesitation.

Relaxing Home-away-from-home Gem

Perfect little creek-side nook within walking distance to everything, but far enough away to feel remote. Window seat was one of our favorite spots to lie on and listen to the rushing creek. Decor was perfect and homey and the bible verse signs meant so much to us- a reminder of God’s love and beauty! Will definitely return!

Most relaxing ever. We honeymooned in this same house 30 years ago. My wife and I both had major health issues this year and lost our beloved Jack Russell at 15 years old. This place was medicine to our soul. God bless Cabins for you for the renovation and rental. This fulfilled us.
