Great View

The view was very nice. However, The main view from the living room was blurry due to the sliding glass door damage. Big disappointment! Due to a lady bug infestation there was a big pile of dead bugs that we cleaned up immediately upon arrival. The kitchen while well appointed, lacked more then the 7 paper towels on the roll. No spare rolls. Thank goodness there were 3 half rolls of back up toilet paper. The two big screen TVs were nice! The upstairs sitting room was very comfortable. Including some new furniture. The view upstairs was fantastic. There was a nice outside fire place, but we never got there to busy hiking! The community property was fun to explore!

Nice small cabin, my family of 4 enjoyed the cabin. It is about 45 minutes from anything which to me was great. Cabin was clean and had great views of sunset and the stars.

Beautiful place, beautiful process

Seamless rental and occupancy experience. Wondrous views and great community, the house was very comfortable and checked off every box for our 4-day stay. The mountain views and quiet made it tough to leave for some appointments we had to keep! Definitely would rent this property again.

Awesome cabin in incredible location!

This cabin is in excellent shape and offers great views of the mountains. It is in a great mountainside development that is well-maintained. It is close enough to civilization but removed enough to be quiet and peaceful and definitely in the country. Accommodations were great and everything was modern and in good working order. We enjoyed hanging out in the cabin, out on the deck, and down by the fire pit as well. We had awesome mountain sunsets 3 of the 4 nights we were there - better quality and quantity than I had even hoped for! After one night, we wish we had booked for more than 4 nights - now we know for next time!!

Relaxation

Extremely relaxing cabin and community. The views make this home. Breathtakingly beautiful. We didn't need to leave the community for anything which is what we were looking for. The lake is awesome . Who doesn't want to float in a clear beautiful lake surrounded by mountains. Such a unique special place to unwind.

Beautiful views, great rate

Very comfortable space for a couple or small family, fantastic views and stunningly peaceful. Our bed was fine, loft area was especially nice and had incredible views. Sunset and nightfall were a treat, listening to the whippoorwills, owls, and the development’s resident peacock (dude thinks he’s a turkey, apparently). The trails and lake are a real bonus. Great rental house and would definitely do it again.

The cabin was just the right size for us with our 2 small kids. The views were amazing!

The kids loved running around the wrap around porch and using their new off-road RC trucks. It was a beautiful neighborhood and enjoyed fishing in the lake. The cabin had everything we needed!

About the host

Hosted by Brian Mahaffey

Host profile image
We are a hardworking, outdoor loving family that splits time between the beach and our Mountain getaway. My wife and I are both Emergency Nurses and Fire Fighters with children in High school and College. Getting away to Grandview Peaks is always the little needed medicine to recharge and regain some sanity from our stressful jobs and family life. We were sold on this Cabin after just one look at the breathtaking view from the cozy loft and wrap around porch and have been in love ever since. We want nothing more than our guests to enjoy a peaceful recharge in our cabin home that is a little piece of heaven on earth.

Why they chose this property

View that is second to none. Log cabin feel with modern conveniences.

What makes this property unique

Easy access, safe gated community, Lake for fishing and swimming with outdoor fire place and grilling area.
