Enjoyable and Relaxing

This is a great place if you are looking for someplace to share with another family. Lots for the kids to do, and super close to lakes and streams. Beds were much more comfortable than we expected, and it was very wheelchair friendly.

Relaxing Quiet Getaway in the Pines

It was a great stay at this cabin! I really liked the fact that it was about 4 miles from the highway so it was VERY quiet with no city/highway noise! The cabin is very open - so if you have kiddos, they will have space to roam around! The fire pit is a nice touch and we used it both nights! Enjoy your stay!

Big House!

The house is so big! The kids loved the game tables (air hockey, fuzz ball) and we loved the outside property! Hammocks, fire pit, swing, really a great place for kids and adults! I would definitely recommend this property and would love to return !

Mountain Getaway

Great cabin for a large family. In our original instructions for our stay it was noted the oven wasn't working. The owner went above and beyond to get it fixed prior to our stay. Which was very appreciated and allowed us to bake biscuits for breakfast one morning.

A Beautiful Getaway

A gorgeous property! Plenty of room for our party of 11. Lots to do, including a swing, firepit, horseshoes, foosball, air hockey and corn hole. We spent our first 2 days completely on property because the kids were enjoying themselves so much! Plenty of dishes, silverware and cookwear to make every meal in-house. Check--in was a breeze. Marty was the perfect host and his communication with us before and after our trip was excellent. Will definitely book again!

Fun for the Whole Family

We spent a weekend at the cabin to celebrate a 50th birthday in the family. The cabin was great and has a fantastic open lay-out which is perfect for a big family. The bathrooms are also newly updated. The whole cabin was clean and inviting. Marty is quick and responsive and provided all the information we needed for our stay. The area is great and we enjoyed the cooler weather. We loved roasting marshmallows in the fire pit. The cabin is great for 'glamping'! Thank you for opening your cabin for our family!

beautiful place for a family

Older home with lots of beds. Plenty of parking. Kitchen had everything we needed. The trees were beautiful around the home and the weather was perfect. There was a water issue that the owner made me aware of before we arrived and he also gave me a discount because of it. He is working on resolving the issue. I would rent this again if the water is resolved.

Labor Day getaway

We all enjoyed our stay, the air hockey and swing was a hit with the kids. We were out most of the day, 1st day on our SXS riding on trails to Young stopping and getting snacks and drinks and then heading back we found Haigler Creek stayed there 30 minutes headed back before it got too dark. Next day went fishing & pass the time at Woods Canyon Lake(only 25min drive) was a little crowded because the holiday but we had a good time. It was nice to get out of the heat for a couple days.

Great for Astrophotography

We found this VRBO perfect for our nighttime astrophotography. For other astronomers who might be interested, the moonless sky is quite dark, measuring 21.5-21.8 mag/arcsec^2. The sky is mostly clear of trees looking north, east and south. Visually the Milky Way was quite bright and the transparency allowed us to get images of very faint objects not possible in urban areas. The accommodations were more than adequate for our purposes. If you are looking for a place to do astrophotography or have a star party, this one is excellent.

We are a family of 5 and love to travel and share our family home with others. We love being outdoors, taking hikes, riding motorcycles and exploring the seasons and beauty of the mountains. Our family believes that life is short and one of the most important things we can do is spend time together on quick or long family vacations.

We take pride in our vacation home and hope that others that stay with us will have a memorable and pleasant visit. Our family has put lots of hard work into this property in hopes for many family and friends to enjoy it and create life long memories. We have used Vacation rentals to travel all over the state, country and world and want others to have an enjoyable experience on their getaways as well.
