This property exceeded every expectation we had. The listing was completely accurate, the cabin was spotless, beautifully maintained, and one of the best-equipped vacation rentals we’ve ever stayed in.Emily was an exceptional host. Shortly after booking, she reached out with a warm welcome, let us know we had picked a wonderful weekend to visit, and encouraged us to contact her with any questions. During our stay, I needed one small appliance, and after sending Emily a message, she had it at the cabin within an hour. Her kindness and responsiveness were outstanding.The cabin has everything you need for a relaxing getaway. We especially loved the sunroom, where we spent hours reading, journaling, talking, and taking in the mountain views. The wraparound porch was perfect for morning tea and stargazing at night. Thoughtful touches like the reverse osmosis spring water, ice waiting for our cooler before we left, comfortable furnishings, and every amenity we could think of made the stay effortless.The birding was incredible. Even though I’m not a birder, I found myself using the binoculars because there were so many beautiful birds visiting the garden.Despite visiting on a holiday weekend, the property remained peaceful, quiet, and the perfect place to unplug. After three nights, I left feeling refreshed, grounded, and more in love with life than when I arrived.If you’re looking for a peaceful retreat in Portal, I can’t recommend Emily’s cabin highly enough. We would absolutely stay here again.
