About this cabin rental

Open the windows and fall asleep to the sound of the stream which runs directly behind the cabin. Amenities include hot tub, Wi-Fi, fireplace, grill, outdoor fire pit, and plenty of decking that overlooks the stream.

The only thing that could have made this any better is if I owned it!

The cabin was beautiful and well maintained. Enjoyed the view of Elk Creek and the sound of the running water. Made use of the hot tub while enjoying the view. I had no luck trout fishing, but wading the stream was fun.

The creek riught outside the back deck was the highlight of the trip. Loved the cabin!

We really enjoyed the cabin and the location. The only issues were the host was not quickly responsive (the day of, someone should be available to answer within an hour or so for incoming guests); we messaged early on asking about the indoor/outdoor fireplaces (whether they were gas or firewood), we received a message that indoor was gas and outdoor was wood, when we arrived there was a note that you could pay for firewood for the outdoor fireplace (and it was not available on the property, you had to message someone to deliver it). I feel this should have been addressed when I asked about the fireplaces, so we could bring our own wood with us. Also, there was an error code on the hot tub, but there were no instructions in the house on how to fix it. We had to google it and eventually got it figured out. Other than that, no issues. We had a great time. We did fish the stream but did not catch anything - we walked several 100 yards in each direction.
