Please respect our neighbors. It’s a very quiet street. We know most our neighbors.





Reminder- This is the mountains. We do our best to control what we can. We hire Terminix to spray and leave bait for pests, do our best to prevent rodents. Annual removal of weeds.

The cabin was as shown in the provided images and was bright, homey, and well apportioned. It doesn't feel like a cabin in woods downstairs, but upstairs does. We had no issues with anything that we used not working. Additionally, little things were provided that were well thought out: some toiletries, dog biscuits, coffee, aluminum foil, etc. The light switch in the upstairs bathroom was hard to find at first, but was just a one-time 'where is it?' but this is clearly shown in the provided pictures and was only an issue as we first used this bathroom when it was dark. Would definitely stay here again.
8 / 10Excellent·Oct 2022
House was located in a quiet neighborhood, which we loved. Wanted to getaway from the city and just be able to relax. Fireplace did not work, which was a bummer. House was so much nicer in person and it was so cute! Wish there was some lights near the hot tub/fire pit, did get pretty dark out there even with the porch light. Overall it was a nice place to stay! Would definitely book again!
