Wonderful little cottage in the most spectacular setting. It was well appointed, felt/looked very clean, and we had everything we needed. The kitchen has no stove, but they detail that in the description so we came prepared with food that was easy to make on a hot plate so that was totally fine. There’s lots of big windows to throw open and the evening breeze is lovely. The bed is comfortable and the linens felt great! As an FYI, be prepared to have very little connectivity as the wifi is pretty spotty. Not surprising in this location though, I think they do the best they can with it. At one point I had to reset the modem, and the owner was available by phone immediately to talk me through how to find it. Really nice guy. Thank you for a fabulous 3 days!

Great Cottage

My wife and I with our two kids needed a quick getaway and this was just perfect. It's a newer, well-appointed cottage, next to a larger main house. The creek is 20 yards off the back door. It's really a great place to stay while exploring Alpine County.

Perfect family get away

Thos was our second time staying at this property and we had a wonderful stay. It is close enough to the ski resorts, restaurants and casinos while providing a peaceful and quiet place to stay. The property is gorgeous with the rushing creek and hiking options.

A peaceful, well done cottage.

We stayed for two nights and loved it. From the beautiful river and babbling brook to the fun loft and great beds, we loved every part. We will be coming back.

Wonderful

Our cottage stay was wonderful. It is well appointed, peaceful, very comfortable. It is private and surrounded by nature-- trees, including Aspens, mountains, birds, a river, and the starts at night are brilliant. We needed a relaxing retreat to recharge and were so glad to be at this place.

Comfortable Mountain Cottage

Great location for the Death Ride to ride to/from the start/finish. It was great to have a comfortable cottage to stay in before and after such a long ride. This is probably one of the most well equipped cottage I’ve ever stayed in. Although the home doesn’t have AC, it was a non issue with the cool breeze & multiple fans provided by the owner. Mike was great and responsive with his communication. I would definitely stay here again!!

Tucked Away Treasure

This property is all and more than is described. It was a delight to sit on any side of the cottage and enjoy the sublime views. The owners are taking great care of the natural landscape. The cottage kitchen amenities were clean and classy and the linens and towels were luxurious. We hope to make this a regular trip.

Great place to get away from it all!

This was perfect for our family stay. We spent an entire morning roaming around the river bed behind the cottage, and were thrilled to find so many games in the loft. There’s a hot plate, toaster oven, microwave, and crock pot to satisfy most light cooking needs. The fireplace heater was more than adequate to keep the house warm during nights in the 40s.

Perfect little cabin !

We had such a nice time at Mike's cabin. It is actually even nicer than it looks in the pictures! Super clean and has lots of amenities and nice touches, like extra towels and games to play. Our 5 year old was obsessed with the little stream just behind the property and loved "his" room (the loft.) The kitchenette was great, it doesn't have a stove but we didn't really need one. It's nice to have a big fridge as we brought food with us.
