This authentic log cabin was so comfortable! The host was so accommodating and responsive to my emails. You will not long for anything here... spices, pots and pans, laundry, kitchen appliances, the best comforters on the beds, comfy pillows, TV and strong wifi. Beautiful views and a cute farmers market that serves an amazing breakfast near by. One of the best vrbo's I've stayed at! I highly recommend it!

This gem of a log cabin is not only spa-like, it is plush, cozy, and a welcoming spot for family meetups and getaways. The blankets are cozy, the towels are plush, the sheets are thick cotton, the pillow selection is great, and all amenities are there. Top-tier cooking equipment and plenty of supplies helped us feel at home. The bathrooms were beautiful and well-appointed, but the star of the show was the hot tub. We lounged there under the pines for cocktail hour and coffee/tea time! We had some great discussions on the porch, some of us using the throw blankets that were supplied and just had a beautiful time. Our host was excellent: prompt, and extremely thoughtful. Our day trip to Santa Fe on the Turquoise Trail was a breeze, but we were just as happy to come back to Cedar Crest. Grocery shopping at the Triangle Market was close and convenient.

Wonderful place! Rooms were comfy and the decor was so fun - all log cabin. Full kitchen with a wonderful dining table. The outdoor deck was to die for. We enjoyed the hot tub too a couple of times. Place was close to a small town called Cedar Crest and not far from the Balloon Fiesta area. I would recommend this place to anyone and also stay here again.

Can't beat sitting on the beautiful deck with a glass of wine enjoying the mountainside view. (Although the hot tub gave it a run for the money.)

Excellent Accommodations and Amenities

This is the most well taken care of property we've stayed in. It is also very safe and peaceful. It was clean, comfortable, and well equipped with everything we needed. We were comfortable and totally satisfied with the accommodations and the environment. Brad was very responsive to anything we needed. He also provided excellent restaurant recommendations and information about the area attractions. We will definitely stay there again.

Semi-annual Retreat

Wonderful property. Quiet, serene, well maintained. Three guys get together for a retreat twice a year since we started with Promise Keepers in the 1990's. This property is perfect for our retreats. We have already reserved it for our Fall get together.

Not as expected

Not for me. There were cobwebs throughout the house almost all the utensils were filthy. And the chicken process seems dated to me 95% of all the properties I ever rented have a keypad entry not a key and if they do have a key it is right there next to the lock not on the other side of the house. The second to the last day we were there Brad decided they needed to pick up the trash which should have been a 5-minute ordeal but why there he decided to do Spa maintenance so he was there for over 30 minutes. And then when we proceeded 3 hours later to get into the hot tub and we had severe skin irritations. Not sure about you but I would not want a person for 30 minutes at my rental on my vacation.
