Wow we felt at home!
We absolutely loved our stay with Watershed Cabins. We felt at home the entire time. In fact we were sad to leave! We spent a week in their cabin and it was stocked with everything we could ever need. I even brought kitchen items I thought I’d need and didn’t have to! It was a very clean property, peaceful and they checked in on us very often. I could type out a novel but I’ll sum it up for you THIS WAS WORTH EVERY PENNY!

Mountain retreat
Very impressed by the cabin. We did have an unlocked window that we found when we first arrived. There were weeds coming through the floor boards in the screened porch and overgrowth by the grille and hot tub. Other than that it was great. We will stay again.Wwill agai again.

Pet friendly? More like dogs (only) begrudgingly tolerated.
House was very clean inside. Table was small for 4. Cable didn’t work, but we didn’t go there to watch tv. YouTube and Netflix worked, so grandson had his cartoons. Hot tub was not useable; filter housing had broken some time ago and filter was absolutely filthy. All the jets but 2 were clogged and the mildew inside the cover reeked. Fire pit chairs were filthy. Loved the self check-in. Overall, I’d rate it barely adequate. Would not rent this unit again.

Cabin on the hill
The cabin was just as described. The inside was very clean. The porch and deck had old leaves that needed to be blown off. We had a problem with the master shower being clogged, but I called Watershed and it was fixed the very next morning. It was conveniently located to downtown.

Private but not isolated
We had an amazing stay at this property, I would definitely stay there again if the opportunity arose. It was perfect for our family of five, everyone had such a good time. The location is great, there are neighboring cabins, but it still felt very private without being isolated. The cabin was clean, the beds were SO comfortable, the hot tub was clean and hot, etc. The screened in porch was my personal favorite, the first night we were there it was storming and I sat out there in the dark and listened to the rain. Super cozy! The backyard was also a favorite, you’re surrounded by nature and it was so peaceful to just go out and sit first thing in the morning. No one bothered us, which I loved too. We have no complaints at all.

Well stocked
This cabin was perfect for what we needed, someone comfortable to stay for my daughter’s dance competition. This is the most well stocked place I’ve ever booked on VRBO. I brought my own paper products, but did not even need them (we were there 2 nights). Would definitely stay again if I’m ever in the area.
