Blake was a fantastic guest! Took great care of the cabin and left everything in wonderful condition. Communicative, respectful, and a genuine pleasure to host — exactly the kind of guest every host loves to have. Would welcome Blake back anytime and highly recommend!

Beautiful home with comfy beds and plenty of space for our group of seven to congregate and have fun. Enjoyed the hot tub and the fire pit. Owner was very responsive and helpful when we had to change the date of our trip due to weather. Will definitely stay here again!

Great cabin

This cabin in the mountains is clean and provides all of the amenities listed on the website. The beds are comfortable and we did not have any issues. The screened in deck was the prime spot to hang out even with the summer heat. I brought my dog and he loved the different trails and swimming in the river.

Clean and well equipped

One of the nicest rentals we've stayed in. David was very responsive. Listing was accurate. Had everything we could have needed. Kitchen was stocked with basic cookware. Hot tub was great and even had a Blackstone available for us to use. All the linens were good quality. Location was tucked away, definitely follow the driving directions and be aware of the last .2 miles as it is a gravel incline (which was clearly posted in the listing). We said on many occasions throughout our stay how nice this cabin was. Would absolutely stay again.
