This house was in a nice neighborhood and had a nicely stocked kitchen and bathroom supplies so one less thing to have to carry. The second story beds have a very steep spiral staircase to get up to the loft and it is very narrow. The big bonus is it’s pet friendly. We really enjoyed our stay there.

What stood out the most was how responsive and helpful our host, Stacy, was throughout our stay. The cabin was exactly as described, and the cozy beds and well‑stocked kitchen made everything feel extra comfortable. Overall, the combination of a great host and a warm, welcoming space really made our stay special.

Stacy the host was so nice and helpful! It was a beautiful cabin and the view was to die for! Only downside was using my gps with the address took me the wrong way on a different road but we eventually found it. Also the bathtubs do not seem to drain very well but besides that it was an amazing stay and I would recommend everyone stay here.
