This cabin was the perfect cozy mountain escape from the city, with every comfort thoughtfully provided. Communication with the host was excellent and exactly as described, making the entire stay seamless. The home is warm and inviting, with soaring ceilings, beautiful views from every window, and a layout that’s ideal for relaxing or gathering together. We especially loved the quiet setting and the large, fully enclosed backyard, which was perfect and stress-free for our dogs. The house was spotless, well-stocked, and truly felt like a home away from home. Peaceful, comfortable, and well-located—we would absolutely stay here again.

Our family of 6 (doggie included) enjoyed our stay. The cabin was clean, cozy, and spacious. We loved the fenced back yard, and the location was great. Lori checked in on us through the app during the stay to ensure everything was going well. The complimentary bottle of wine was a sweet gesture. We spent more time inside than usual due to the rain, but thankfully there were games, movies, and heat/fireplace. Cabin was well-stocked with kitchen supplies, coffee maker, keurig, pet bowls, etc.

This is a well laid out cabin getaway, came here with my adult children for a long weekend. The open main room/kitchen was ideal for the six of us to hangout together and the backyard is a tranquil forest oasis; how I miss lying in the hammock starring up through the pines at a starry sky! What stuck out the most was the quality of the furnishings throughout, even the outdoor furniture was of the highest quality.

Nicely decorated home in a great location near the lake. Lovely relaxing backyard has a hammock and horseshoes. My husband, adult son and I spent two nights here and found it super convenient to the marina and all the shops and restaurants. (Tip for future guests: light switch for the light above the kitchen sink is tucked away behind the coffee maker. It took us forever to find it!)

Amazing property, especially for dog owners. The cabin has an open layout and great kitchen with huge family table and all the amenities. Everything was clean and comfortable and so inviting for families. The backyard was a dream. We had so much fun playing jenga on the deck and horseshoes in the huge well landscaped yard that it safely fenced in. So pleased with this place.Hope to return again in near future!

About the host

Hosted by Lori Avery

Host profile image
Hello! Thank you for taking a moment to consider staying with us. We are a family of four who love to travel and make memories together. We are San Diego residents who love to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life and visit our "home away from home", Bleu J Cabin. We are honored to share our cabin with other families and groups who want to get away to the mountains to relax and recharge!

Why they chose this property

Our home was professionally designed to meet the demands of modern convenience (WIFI, newer appliances etc) while also providing the cozy mountain aesthetic you want when you travel to the mountains. The cabin is pleasing to the eye and set back on a large lot with a HUGE fenced backyard. There is a deck and a grill plus a hammock for when the weather is nice :).

What makes this property unique

A very short walk to the lake and marina! Also very close to the village.
