My boyfriend and I had a great time! This cabin is lovely! We went out on Sunday to Wolf Den Run State Park, but most of the time we were having fun in the cabin making fire, eating s’mores and enjoying the hot tub.I’ll definitely talk about your cabin and recommend it to friends.Thank you very much!

Property was beautiful & private. Loved being in the woods and yet close to stores & restaurants. House was clean, neat and provided perfect place to unwind from the world especially the hot tub and bonfire area.

Walking into the cabin and seeing the view from the living room was amazing! ... a beautiful sweeping view of a cow pasture on the hillside and a mountain ridge. Fireplace with provided firelogs and electric candles on the mantel made for a relaxing evening. Hot tub was great after a day of hiking. Little touches like the couch cover, ball and petwipes for dogs was nice. Carol even provided dog bowls and makings for s'mores! Rooms and bathrooms very clean with nice private views thru the woods. Watching a pileated woodpecker and a red-headed woodpecker while breakfasting was special. Would definitely stay there again, and I'd like to see the cabin in other seasons. Decks with rockers were nice, although the weather turned cold when we were there so I couldn't sit outside for long. Our family of 4 adults 1 dog stayed there April 5-8, 2026. Thanks, Carol, for sharing your cabin and answering our questions so promptly!

Convenient to town

We needed a place convenient to Oakland but close enough to things to do for our young adult kids. This home/property was perfect! Had a nightly fire pit/smores session and hot tub time. So peaceful we could hear the cows in the fields conversing with each other. Will definitely stay again!

Tucked amongst trees, set back from a lightly traveled road, you'll find Carol's charming cabin. You can see a neighboring house on one side, but it isn't too close. We didn't see or hear another human during our stay - the only talking came from the cows. The interior is a perfect marriage of vintage cabin and modern amenities. The mid-century vibe worked so well with the warm wood and cool stone that I found myself snapping photos, inspired by the decor in the ever changing light. We didn't get opportunity to enjoy the indoor fireplace, hot tub, fire pit or porches, but hope to on the next go round. The upstairs porch especially would be great for coffee and bird watching. The mattress was firm, the sheets were crisp and the curtains kept the bedroom dark. I also appreciated the choice of more environmentally responsible products (Native body, shampoo and conditioner, cheekily named recycled TP, etc). Carol was also a generous host with the bonuses of dog treats, smores fixings and a coffee bar. The four nights we spent went by quickly, but were filled with so much comfort. We are grateful for the opportunity to stay. Oh, and our dog also offers two big paws up!

About the host

Hosted by Carol Shepherd

Host profile image
I grew up in California, but have been in Maryland for over 20 years. I currently live near Annapolis, but love coming up to Oakland to "get away" from the hustle and bustle of my busy life.

Why they chose this property

I love the quiet and the stillness of Pleasant Valley. Something about being in a rural environment brings me peace. I hope to share that with you.

What makes this property unique

The wood and stone features in the house give it a rustic feel. I hope a stay at my place will take you away from the stresses and demands of everyday life.
