Thanks very much for the great comments. It's means so much when our guests find that special connection to our Million Stars Cabin. Please come back next season when we (including our little critters)
will welcome you back!
Another amazing stay in the books. This place has become our favorite. The privacy, coziness of the home, all the birds and squirrels and even horses from time to time. The owners are amazing, always so kind and always respond quickly. Can't wait to come back!
Had an amazing stay the cabin was perfect for our stay of 5 people. The firepit outside was amazing. And even wifi was very good. Went fishing at woods canyon lake during the day.
The house is in the perfect location in the forest. It is clean, spacious and fully stocked. The host was easy to communicate with and made sure we were enjoying our stay. Watching the wild horses wander through the property every afternoon was amazing! We will be back for sure.
Wonderful home and amazing views. We enjoyed waking up everyday looking at the forest, feeding squirrels and chipmunks and watching the beautiful blue birds fly. It’s so comfortable and is stocked with everything you might want or need. I’m kind of a clean freak and this homes attention to detail is amazing. We will definitely be back again soon. I miss it already .
Absolutely beautiful property. The house with perfectly clean and comfortable. The hosts did a very good job communicating, even letting me know about a car accident in the area and to check the roads. One of my sisters left a blanket and they were happy to ship it to her. I would definitely rent this property again.

Thanks a million for the kind words! Please come back soon, we really appreciate return guests too!
We saw wild horses and deer in our backyard!
It was quiet and cool weather in the pines. The master bedroom had air conditioner so we were very comfortable in the master suite!
This cabin was very cozy and had lots of room the pictures don’t do it justice. The upstairs bedroom is very big and has a very large nice bathroom. Even though there are neighbors you It is still very private and is surrounded by beautiful pine trees. Back porch is very large And has a nice rocking chair or you can sit and drink your coffee in the morning very beautiful and relaxing I would highly recommend this cabin. They also had lots of games for you to play with your family which was very nice and they had Netflix on their TV so when it was cold outside we could cuddle up inside and watch a movie.
