After staying in dozens of rentals over the years, this cabin ranks near the top of the list. From the ease of check-in to the nearly instant communication back and forth with the owner, our stay was absolutely perfect. The place itself was decorated so nicely, and attention to details was duly noted. Then there’s the view…from morning coffee to evening wine, the sights from the deck and hot tub were unmatched. We cooked dinner twice and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. A small but impressionable thing noted was the heated tile flooring in the bathroom. An absolute must-stay if you are visiting the area.

This cabin is absolutely perfect! It was a beautifully crafted getaway for me and a friend with the most perfect patio coffee views of the river and snow capped mountains.. I miss it already! The host has thought of every detail. The chairs, the throw pillows.. the warm bathroom floors. Love love love. Not to mention, the beds and pillows are lush and welcoming. I can’t wait to go back! Alisha has a gem waiting to share with you.

The property was not secluded but was beautiful and very comfortable. The hot tub overlooking the river with decorative lighting was fantastic. The moss covered trees in the deck were my favorite. I'm from Colorado and i have never seen so much green. A great place to stay.

This is a stunning cabin that has been beautifully decorated. The setting on the river was very peaceful. I literally sat on the deck and red for hours at at time. We loved taking a swim in the river at the community's private "beach" and appreciated the quantity of beach towels. The kitchen has all of the pots/pans needed to cook meals (which we did almost every evening) and the heated floors in the bathroom are lovely to feel underfoot rather than cold tiles.Just things for future renters to be aware of. The neighboring cabins are very very close by to the point that you can easily hear conversations held at a normal volume. There was a small (and rather loud) child staying there during our stay. While it didn't bother us, if you're looking for complete privacy and quiet, this may not be the place for you. It's also quite remote, so be aware that restaurants and full grocery shopping is pretty limited outside of a town 30 minutes to the west. Lastly, the bed in the master bedroom was much too soft for me. It didn't bother my husband, but after three nights, I needed to sleep on the firmer bed in the guest room. Overall, though it was a great experience and the owner's communication was outstanding!
