The location of the house is nice, the neighborhood/community where it is located is really beautiful. We went for a stroll as soon as we arrived. We had a few hiccups and miscommunication with our stay but the host was understanding.

We loved our stay here! The location is absolutely beautiful and the cabin was comfortable with enough room for a family of 4 to not trip over each other. Cara was very helpful and responsive when we had questions. We would absolutely stay here again.

Such a great cabin situated in the perfect spot to catch all the local offerings. The cabin has everything you need for a fun trip with your family or friends. I’d highly recommend. The host was communicative. The cabin was clean and updated. The hiking trail inside the neighborhood was an added bonus!
