We were very concerned to hear about this issue, as this is certainly not the experience we aim to provide. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and take any report of pest activity very seriously. Because this was brought to our attention following checkout, we were unable to assist during your stay. However, immediately upon notification, we dispatched a professional exterminator who thoroughly inspected the property, resolved the issue, and confirmed the home is secure. We continue to monitor the property closely to ensure a clean, comfortable, and high-quality stay for all future guests.

This place is really awesome! Absolutely loved the charm of the cabin. Kitchen had everything we needed, beds were super comfortable, plenty of bathrooms. Being on the creek was the best, the patio is perfect. Loved watching all the wildlife. My family is already talking about going back n3xt year. And Allyn, the hostess, couldn’t have been any better! Five stars all around

Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We're so glad the charm of the cabin stood out and that the kitchen, beds, and bathrooms all met your family's needs. Being on the creek really is special, and it sounds like the patio and wildlife views made for a memorable stay. It means a lot to hear your family is already planning a return trip. Five stars right back at you!

This is the quietest most relaxing place l have stayed at. The wildlife was so enjoyable. I only had one complaint and that was the giant screen tv. The LG brand made it so you could only stream their channels and the internet didn't work all the time on it. The other tv in bedroom was fine and cell phone worked fine but with all the beauty who watches tv. Loved the hot tub.

We're so glad you found this spot as quiet and relaxing as we think it is, and that the wildlife and hot tub added to the experience. Added a ROKU for more friendly streaming in the living room. It’s feedback like this that allows us to make adjustments to improve the stay for future guests! Thank you for sharing your stay with us.

We can’t say enough about this charming cabin. The hot tub was amazing. The scenery was beautiful. The large picture windows were ideal to watch it snow while we were snuggled inside by the fire. The location of the cabin seems pretty central to multiple activities. I would highly recommend staying here.

We absolutely enjoyed our stay over Christmas! The easy communication and instructions were a definite plus! We enjoyed evenings in the hot tub and playing games in front of the fireplace after. The kitchen appliances and amenities made feeding the family easy. We even had a Christmas tree! Thank you!

Beautiful Location and Great House

This spot was great to spend time with friends and relax. The creek and ravens and hawks were a treat to enjoy. The kitchen had everything you could want and more. Close enough to town to enjoy that too.

Great location for seeing so many sites in surrounding mountains

Enjoyed it being on on one level. It was a very convenient location. It was lacking enough lighting to even read a book in living room and needed a few side tables but property manager was very easy to contact!
