The property is ideal for one person or two people who want to get away on a tranquil excursion to relax and to take in the beauty of nature. If you are looking for quiet solitude, it is the place for you.

Amazing Vacation Tiny Home

First want to start off by saying that Steven & Sue were the best host anyone could ask for. Even though the cabin is located on the property of the family home, they did not invalid privacy, they were quick with responses when I had questions. The tiny home/cabin was amazingly cleaned upon arrival. This was my boyfriend’s first time in the mountains/cabins and he really enjoyed it. I would definitely consider staying here if I came for The Polar Express Train Ride again. This couple deserves the 5 star rating!

It is a cute place

The nook is cute and cozy but in arrival it was dirty. The sheets had hair etc on them. We had to change the sheets.. wash the quilt and sheets shams. Blanket also. So if we had not taken a blanket we wouldn’t have cover until it was dried and washed. We were very cold the last two days. It was cold outside and inside. The heater isn’t big enough for the space. But the house is cute.

Small but very spacious Tiny house

This was a nice little getaway from the busy hectic work schedule a nice little downtime This is small but doesn’t feel small at all you have enough room not to feel cramped this was a first time here and I can say I will be back to stay again only down fall is not having a real oven even though this was a vacation I still prefer having to cook my food there is a decent size toaster oven but it Doesn’t do good for oven potatoes lol the cook top took a moment to unlock good thing there was an instruction manual for that Great relaxing time I did stay an additional day. The bad bed needs to be a little softer as well as the pillows. The other thing is the hot water ran out seeing as I stayed an additional day but it was fixed by the time I returned. Thanks again for being great hostesses They were very communicative and friendly. This is beside other houses besides this but it’s private enough to feel as you your alone

20th Anniversary Trip

The Blissful Nook was perfect for a short stay. It was very clean and cozy. Would definitely stay again if it had a king sized bed. Location was nice....away from the hustle and bustle of town. Perfect little get-a-way for a couple's night out. Thank you!

Quick mountain getaway

We found Blissful Nook for our quick weekday getaway(Wednesday-Friday) and we fell in love!! It is the perfect size for a couple to reconnect, spend time together just relaxing. The location is just outside of town, but feels like back in country. We truly enjoyed our stay and can’t wait to stay again!
