Thank you! Glad you enjoyed your stay at the cabin.
We loved our time here. There is no cell service for at least a 20 minute drive. But that made disconnecting even easier. Perfect place to unwind with nature in peaceful quiet. We took a hike nearby in absolute solitude. The host did a wonderful job leaving solid local recommendations and the house was very clean. The photos don’t do the place justice. It was impressive walking into this wabi sabi home. Look out for the Lorax, he’s within a 10 minute drive away.

Thank you! We're glad you had a great time at the cabin.
Great property with everything you need for a relaxing getaway
Cozy, modern inside, rustic outside. Far enough from amenities to feel remote but close enough to local restaurants and provisions if you want them. Nearby access to short or long hikes in beautiful country.Owners were attentive and helpful from afar.

Thanks for the photos! We're glad you enjoyed the cabin.
This cabin was the perfect place to recharge the batteries, conveniently located to great hiking. Incredibly clean and attention to detail made it a great refuge in the woods.
Exactly as advertised. Clean, bright, stylish, comfortable, well-appointed. Super responsive and thoughtful host. Great long weekend getaway for us and our dogs. No hesitations, just book it!
Wabi Sabi Cabin was the perfect place to be quiet amongst the trees and calm in nature. We were able to relax, unwind and rejuvenate from our everyday stress. The cabin is well-stocked, beautifully decorated and tucked into the forest of trees. It was rainy every night that we were there, but I can imagine you can do some amazing stargazing! As it was, we loved hearing the rain patter on the roof as we fell asleep at night. Highly recommend!

Thank you! We're glad it was a relaxing stay at the cabin.
My family of 3 very much enjoyed our stay in this cabin. Everything was very clean and in good working order, and the cabin was beautifully decorated. The cabin is centrally located, within easy distances to hiking, boating, artist co-ops, restaurants, and horseback riding. We plan to stay here again in the future!

Thanks Taruna, glad you enjoyed the cabin in Lost River!
Sweet little cabin in a pretty valley with lots of great outdoor activities and good food (if you know where to look - including the burgers at A Corner Mart). Really well appointed — well equipped kitchen, fluffy towels, a comfortable bed, grill, and deck. Fast WiFi for work or movies and a desk. Plus, dog bowls and furniture covers for the pooch. Had a great time and would stay again!
Just what we needed, a quiet long weekend away from our jobs and the daily grind. Had a wonderful day hiking and enjoyed some much needed down time. The house is beautiful, clean and my dog loved the deck. Thank you for sharing your home.
This house was absolutely beautiful! As lovely as the photos are its only that much better in person & all the appliances one could hope for. The owners "guidebook" was extremely helpful before and also during the trip. Would highly recommend!

Thank you, Kayla! Glad you enjoyed a peaceful getaway at the cabin.
This cabin was adorable!!! very clean. The only downside is seating area in the family room. More than 2 people with pets it’s a little cramped to get cozy and watch TV. Would definitely recommend for couples.
Celebrating my wife's birthday, we stayed several nights at the Wabi-Sabi cabin. Furnished well, stylish, all rooms nice, there would have been plenty of room for a small family to stay. It happened to snow this weekend so we didn't venture out too much, but we stayed in played some table games, watched some movies, heated up the wood stove, and took a break from the fast pace world.
This cabin had everything you may need, and more. We had a lovely weekend away and wish we had more time to do everything Leona and John recommended. Everything was seamless and no stone was left unturned for our stay at this wonderful cabin. I think we will be back in the future to do more exploring and more relaxing! Highly recommended if you want some time to unplug!

Thank you for being a great guest! We're glad you enjoyed the nearby hikes.
We have 3 kids (17,15,12) and everyone had a pleasant stay at this cute cabin. We met friends in Lost City for a long weekend of hiking and hanging out. The house has everything that you need and a bit more. There is AC in the summer so that makes everything better after a long day of hiking. Nice deck for entertaining outside. We would come back and stay in this cabin again no hesitation. Thanks for a great stay. If this is on your list of potential places to rent, save yourself the time and book.

Thank you, Kathryn! We're glad to hear everyone enjoyed the family vacation.
We had a great stay at the cabin for a few nights’ getaway over spring break. The kids (ages 8 and 3) loved playing on the grounds and hiking around. The interior was spotless and well-appointed. I loved how rustic it was outside and how cozy and clean and modern it was inside. The property is right next to a recreation area that we took advantage of by hiking and fishing. It was the off season for the rec area so we had to hike/walk in and out which was a bit of a haul but worth it. The house was kid friendly and our boys slept soundly! Definitely recommend!
We had a wonderful stay at Wabi Sabi cabin. The decor is great and it’s very clean. The kitchen was very well stocked and everything was labeled. There were a lot of board games. We slept great in the beds and we really appreciated the the great window shades! There are views of the forest and nature from all the windows and the outdoor deck is really nice. We also enjoyed roasting marshmallows outside on the fire pit. You can walk into the forest right outside the cabin. We really enjoyed our time away and wish we could have stayed longer.

Karen — we’re glad you enjoyed the cabin in Lost River!
Outside? Just another rustic cabin in the woods.
Inside? Prepare to be surprised. A beautifully appointed, bright, welcoming home from home. The owner has thought of everything you might need for a few days away. Comfortable king bed, a spa-like bathroom and a fully stocked kitchen. Just bring food and prepare to relax! Definitely a 5* escape.
