I have to admit that this place was nicer than what I though. If you want a place to completely relax and connect with nature, then look no further. Location was key. It wasn’t far away from anything. There is so many things we didn’t get to do since our time was limited, but I’m planning to go back and visit. Loved this cabin.
Our stay could not have been any better. Wonderful experience with a true cabin feel in a great location. The cabin was just as expected, clean and with all the essentials needed for a fun filled 4 days of skiing and sightseeing.
The photos do a transparent job on what to expect, beautiful kitchen, spacious living room, comfortable bedrooms and the best part, the huge backyard with the highlight of our stay, the fire pit.
Highly recommended. Can’t wait to go back.
We stayed here with our pups for a wedding and also some hiking. The house has a beautiful view, is very dog friendly and we loved the outdoor fenced area and large deck! Very quiet location, and we enjoyed watching deer and having a fire in the fire pit area. Some downsides—the primary bedroom has an open bathroom with no door (!). The bed is very squeaky—even just turning over can be loud. The ice maker is broken and there is no ice so stop for ice before heading up the mountain. Otherwise this is a nice short term stay for a couple or small family.

This place is just awesome. I went for summer mountain biking and was a blast. The house is fully equipped with everything you need to relax without worrying of carrying anything. Grilling with an outstanding view at the deck was my favorite part, kitchen was fully equipped for all our cooking. Rooms are spacious, well furnished, and beds were comfortable. Found everything super clean and ready to use. Hope to come back soon.
So much to say! The view from this home is spectacular and so relaxing! Close to hiking and biking trails, quaint shopping, wineries, and floating down river!
I can’t wait to go back!
From the owner: "We can’t wait to have you back! Come visit again soon!"
