10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Aug 2024
If you're looking for R&R, this is the place! Secluded, CLEAN, modern, and nestled in gorgeous landscaping. The view from the patio is amazing and the sunrise over the peaks, breathtaking! The hummingbirds kept us entertained the entire time. We watched two prong horn pass through the property one evening and a coyote prowling around antagonizing the prairie dogs. There is an abundance of cookware and appliances, the kitchen did not disappoint! Beds are super comfy and the bathroom, stunning. I did notice reviews about the cameras and notes all over the cabin when booking. I found the simple reminders to be very helpful and made checkout much easier. The cameras were surrounding the entire property except for the patio outside the master bedroom, (I think!). They did not damper our stay at all. I understand the rational of security and no young kids, this place is immaculant!!! We would certainly stay again!

The Cabin is lacking nothing! Lots of small touches, luxury items throughout the cabin. Most peaceful & comfortable stay we have had at a vacation rental. Hosts are easy to reach and very helpful with their communication. The welcome book has great details of the area.

We enjoyed the cabin very much! The views change every hour and are never the same. Thank You for all the amenities provided, more than we have experienced at any other VRBO. We love the chap stick idea. The hot tub is the best place to watch the sunset and mountain views. BEST CABIN we have every stayed at!!!!
6.0 / 10.0Average·Sep 2025
We booked this home for privacy, the hot tub, and the waterfall feature. Unfortunately, our stay fell short. The property has potential and is well-kept in many ways, but several issues made the experience less than ideal.
The home came with a lengthy binder of rules and many posted signs, most of which were not disclosed prior to booking. This, combined with ongoing construction just a few feet away, made the atmosphere feel far from private or relaxing. The waterfall feature was not working, which was disappointing since it was one of our main reasons for booking. The lack of window coverings also left us feeling exposed.
Several small details added to the frustration: many games were missing pieces, the smart home system was confusing and inconsistent, a wind chime outside the bedroom kept us awake, and the refrigerator contained personal items despite instructions not to move anything. These things, while minor on their own, compounded to create stress instead of the peaceful experience we expected.
Overall, the home is visually appealing, but the combination of unclear rules, privacy concerns, and undisclosed inconveniences made our stay less enjoyable than anticipated.
