Our cozy yet spacious retreat offers a perfect blend of rustic ambiance and modern amenities, ensuring a memorable getaway for families, friends, or couples. perfect for skiing and snowboarding Very private. -If needed, the thermostat (heat only - there is no A/C) is on the main floor on the pillar near the kitchen. a. If you have problems operating the thermostat, please let the property manager know and we can provide instructions and/or set the temperature remotely. b. The baseboard heaters are for emergency use only, please do not turn any of these on without contacting the property manager or owner first.
-It doesn't usually get very hot, even in the middle of summer, but feel free to use the window fans if it gets too warm or stuffy in the cabin; they usually work best with one at the top of the basement stairs pulling fresh air in, and another one in the window by the TV pushing air out. A third fan in the main floor bedroom at night may also help.

We had a great stay here over the weekend! The property was private, quiet, and very clean. The host was very communicative and the house had everything you could think of that you would need for a weekend stay. We would recommend this property!
Beautiful house and property. We really enjoyed our stay. Conveniently located to some state parks. Firepit was very nice.Quiet and peaceful atmosphere.
This was a much needed mini vacation for my family. The property was everything it promised to be and more. The house and property was exceptionally clean and well stocked.
The property was exactly what we were looking for. A clean quiet cabin in the woods to get away, but not too far away from the activities we had planned.
The cabin was perfect and we enjoyed our stay very much! It has all of the amenities you could need, and then some! It’s a great layout and everything you could want or need is provided for you. It was super clean, and everything is very nice. We really enjoyed the nice big yard and the secluded area. It was just my husband and I, but it would be a great place for a big group! We look forward to coming back and bringing more family with us!
The property was beautiful and just as described in the listing. Convenient location for visiting Blackwater Falls and the surrounding area. A really lovely retreat.
The property was great! We especially enjoyed the decks and sitting around the large dining table. It also has nice walking in the neighborhood and is easy to reach lots of sights nearby. The beds were very soft and the plumbing was questionable - nothing actually went wrong but we felt we had to watch a few things closely.Overall, we had a very good stay! Thank you!
Home was very clean. Beds were comfortable. Host was very communicative. Had plenty of paper towels, TP, garbage bags, etc. Kitchen was well equipped for everything we needed.
This cabin was absolutely fantastic. It had all the essentials you would expect in your primary home. There was an ample supply of the extras you would need...like TP and paper towels and laundry soap, as well as something I NEVER find...ziploc bags AND foil! I've stayed in 10-15 properties of this type and it's the first home I've found them in. Thank you! It was nice to enjoy both a coffee percolator and an espresso machine (and a bean grinder and frother). It had all we needed and the setting was stunning. There were trees all around and we saw no neighbors at all. Efi was a wonderful host, providing super quick answers to questions. I would stay here again!
Great place to stay. Very comfortable cabin. With all the needs covered. Very nice decks and a nice grill. Close to the parks for hiking and sightseeing. And Davis has a nice little grocery store for the needs while there. About 10-15 minutes away. I would recommend to my friends.
Beautiful spot in the woods, within a 15 minute drive from White Grass xcountry skiing and other ski spots in the valley. Comfortable clean house with all you need including several coffee-making options, great common space with fireplace. Host was very responsive and helpful. We’ll look forward to staying here again.
Nice and private. The bottom bedroom has the most comfortable bed. There are multiple different sitting areas to relax in the trees with various views. We enjoyed our stay.
We loved our stay here. Highlights for me were the deck and the wood burning fireplace. We had a few issues and the host was super responsive and helpful! We hiked around Blackwater Falls and Seneca Rocks, just beautiful in the fall. Thanks for the lovely trip!
Host was very welcoming and responsive. House very private and comfortable. Beds were comfortable. Views lovely. Kitchen had basics, plus Kurig, regular coffee maker, instant hot tea kettle, and what looked like cappuccino machine ( we didn’t try it). Couches and furniture in main area very comfortable and newish. Overall, very nice stay.
From booking through the end of our day we were satisfied! Really a great place at a reasonable rate. Appreciated the responsiveness of property owner.Could use some updates in furnishing and outside amenities such as fire pit and outdoor furniture. That said the enjoyment of our stay was not impacted!

Thanks for your kind words and feedback! We have since added a firepit and updated outdoor furniture to the cabin, we hope you'll stay again and get the chance to enjoy them! All the best, Efi
What a wonderful place to stay, the house was beautiful and had everything needed for our stay. Our host was welcoming and very helpful. House was well stocked with paper towels, and Tp for our extended stay. The sound of the creek was so peaceful in the mornings . When we arrived there was a Christmas tree set up and my grandkids loved it. The area is close to town and all attractions but far enough away to enjoy nature and the wildlife. We could not have asked for a better host or better place to spend Christmas with the grandkids. Truly an amazing experience.
The house was a great place to stay. A few things that will keep our family from staying here in the future. The was only a roll and a half of toilet paper in the house, no paper towels were provided, the downstairs bathroom has mold on the inside of the shower at the door frame, the house was very dusty on tables and lamp fixture. There was a signed form that was left from mid November from a previous guest, and there was only one dishwasher tab to use in the dishwasher. The place was great. Just wished that it was more prepared for a family to stay for two nights.
