James was a fantastic guest! He was respectful of the property, easy to communicate with, and left Alto Cabin in excellent condition. We'd be happy to host him again anytime and highly recommend him to other hosts.

This is an amazing place to stay. The place looks just like the pictures. It was easy to find thanks to the sign out front. Labels in the kitchen made it convenient to use. One of the best rentals I have ever stayed it.

Closer to the highway than we thought so it was a little noisy at times.

We stayed here for a hunting trip and it was amazing. The house was very well-appointed and the hot tub for sure got used after some long day out in the cold looking for deer! We will definitely rent again!

Beautiful property, very charming! The spacious guest rooms were very clean and well maintained. Nicely stocked kitchen, and labels on all the cabinets and drawers was a nice touch. The hot tub was the perfect temperature and the fire pit worked great even though the firewood got rained on in the morning. Couldn't be better!

Great experience for a young family. Property was well stocked with essentials (e.g., cooking items, spices and seasonings, grilling items, firewood, cleaning pods) and extras (e.g., brochures for area attractions, lawn games, board games, rock hounding information). We enjoyed exploring the trail at the bottom of the driveway and finding fossils everywhere. Host should consider adding info about nearby Rolling Oak Alpaca Ranch and area trail ride experiences like Giant City Stables to the materials at the house. We appreciated the dedication toward cleanliness with linens!

Thank you for the wonderful review, Christopher! We're so glad you and your family enjoyed your stay and were able to explore the property, hike the trail, and hunt for fossils. We also appreciate your suggestions about Rolling Oak Alpaca Ranch and Giant City Stables. Those are great recommendations, and we'll look at adding them to our guest information for future visitors. It was a pleasure hosting your family, and we hope to welcome you back to Alto Cabin again soon!

Loved loved LOVED our stay! It was close enough to everything, yet we still felt away from the world (which is exactly what we wanted). We always stay at VRBOs and this was the first one that had a knife set (we aleays bring our own because usually the knives suck). The hot tub was absolutely perfect. Beth was super responsive and helpful. We will definitely be back, hopefully next time with my mom, sister, her partner, and their baby.
