This was the perfect cozy mountain getaway for our family. Everything about this cabin was great. The host did a great job of communicating and making sure everything was set up for us, and the cabin was very well stocked with extra linens and everything we could need. Could not have been a better time away with the family. Hope to come back in the future!

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.

This property was an outstanding place to stay. It was incredibly clean, well stocked with supplies and had everything you need to cook with. We went for Easter break and the kids had so much fun in the hot tub and exploring the area. The outdoor deck does not disappoint, it is relaxing and has beautiful views. The beds were very comfortable and provide a great nights sleep. The mini split heating/cooling system was perfect for the different types of weather we had. The host was extremely responsive, helpful, gave dining recommendations. Checkin and checkout could not have been easier. We live nearby, but wanted a getaway, but be close enough to go home and take care of animals. This was perfect location for us. The water feature was calming for our son with autism to listen to. If we could rate it higher, we would.

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!

Our family enjoyed our stay at this property. It had snowed before we arrived so it was beautiful! The road was plowed and the walks shoveled so it was easy to access with 4wd, which Brad had recommended getting in case it snowed. Our family would stay here again.
