Cozy cabin stay

The cabin was extremely cozy and perfect place to retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life. We stu.bled upon the community beach and was in awe of the views from the bridge locals were fishing from. Perfect location to hike or take refuge.

The cabin was great. Perfect for a romantic getaway. The cabin had everything we needed. We enjoyed the fireplace and the peace and quiet. The kitchen was well equipped and the bathroom was luxurious. The hot tub was on and ready to go when we arrived and seemed well taken care of. We will definitely be booking another stay.

I surprised my girlfriend for her birthday with a weekend getaway to Index / Gold Bar and this cabin was the PERFECT place to stay. We loved how intimate it was, its proximity to the beautiful water, and how nice/clean/stocked the cabin was! The fact that this cabin has both WiFi (and a TV!) and a hot tub are very nice perks, as well.Tree Line was phenomenal in terms of communication -- very responsive, friendly, and helpful. I've already shared this listing with a few friends, prompting them to take a trip themselves.Thank you so much for a great weekend!

Very charming; incredible views

The views are incredible, especially from the hot tub. Because we went in the winter, the mountains were gorgeously snowcapped and there was an unexpectedly charming view of the river. The cabin was lovely; bed was comfortable. The windows in the cabin are enormous and provide excellent views. We really enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful cabin

Small but well built and great property management company that thinks of all the little things like bath amenities, starter coffee, sufficient paper goods and enough kitchen goods to cover most needs. The wood stove heats the cabin well and we greatly appreciated the starter firewood when we arrived and it was cold.

Peaceful Respite

We had a last minute change of plans and were able to secure this lovely property for a two night stay. It was a quiet and relaxing place to be. The kitchen was adequately stocked with spices and such. The hot tub was wonderful. Access to the river was easy - fun to go sit by the river and just watch the water rush by. Check in was easy. We were a little concerned about the gate, but that whole process was a breeze. All in all a perfect time.

Hi Jennifer! We always list the square footage, 561sf here, so we're not sure why you thought it would be bigger. We also never advertised a fire pit here. It is only advertised for the neighboring property. In the future, best to read listing details before booking and if you want something bigger or with different amenities we are always happy to help you find the perfect place!

Our stay at The Lily Pad couldn't have gone much better. My girlfriend and I celebrated some time off and her birthday. The views and accommodations at the cabin made for a smooth and relaxing stay. We loved the trees, mountains, the river access and the fresh air. We couldn't recommend this to other more looking for a nice couples getaway.
