They have a really cute backyard with a clean & well functioned jacuzzi. Indoor areas is OK. It gets cold at night, and the ac didn’t really help with the thin covers. We heard neighbors dogs barking through out the night.

Perfect little cabin!!!

This cabin was absolutely perfect for me, my adult daughter and my 10 year old son! It was cozy and still roomy enough for us to relax and enjoy each others company. The hot tub was a hit for my daughter and I to relax in, after out adventuring during the day. We cooked 3 meals in the cabin during our 2 night stay, so having the kitchen was also a plus! The cabin was clean and came equipped with everything we needed. Great neighborhood! We will definitely stay again!!!! Kylee was a great host!!!

Cool little place.

I enjoyed this property very much. It was very clean and the amenities were very thoughtful. We couldn't get both sets of jets to work on the hot tub but it still felt nice to soak in. We thought no A/C would be a problem in late July but with windows open and fans going it felt great. We did have a small problem with ants but who doesn't during the summer? I would definitely use this property again. It was a good size for 2 guys because of the loft area to sleep. 3 adults could stay comfortably and of family of 4 could make due. Nice and quaint for a party of 2 though!

Kylee made this property so cute and accessible! It was the perfect distance from the mountain for snowboarding and restaurants for dinner. Kylee was super helpful with any questions we had.
