About this property

Shady Knoll getaway. A peaceful escape in the mountains.

Escape to our enchanting cabin nestled in the heart of the woods, where nature’s beauty and adventure await you. This cozy retreat is perfect for families and groups, comfortably sleeping up to 8 people. Imagine waking up to the serene sounds of the forest, with friendly animals like deer and birds making occasional visits to your doorstep. Tour our farm and make friends with our animals by feeding them with provided snacks. Whether you’re seeking a peaceful getaway or an action-packed vacation, our cabin offers the best of both worlds.
During the winter months, you’ll be just a short drive away from some of the best ski resorts in the area. Spend your days carving through fresh powder and your evenings gathered around the outdoor fire pit, sharing stories and hot cocoa with loved ones. When the snow melts, the surrounding lakes and rivers become a playground for kayaking, fishing, and swimming. Hiking and mountain biking trails are abundant, offering breathtaking views and exhilarating experiences for outdoor enthusiasts.
Inside, the cabin is designed for comfort and relaxation. The spacious living area is perfect for cozying up after a day of adventure. The fully equipped kitchen allows you to prepare delicious meals. Each sleeping area is thoughtfully furnished to ensure a restful night’s sleep, so you can wake up refreshed and ready for another day of exploration. Take a hike around our 16 acre property and enjoy time near our year round creek. Or you may enjoy a hike down to the bear river which is less than 5 minutes away. When dinner rolls around we have a BBQ, smoker and griddle available for a nominal fee (propane charcoal and lighter fluid provided). If you’re not feeling up to cooking enjoy some of the many wonderful restaurants in the area (feel free to ask us for a recommendation).
Whether you’re planning a winter ski trip, a summer hiking adventure, or simply a peaceful retreat in nature, our cabin is the perfect destination. Book your stay today and create unforgettable memories in this idyllic woodland haven.

The host was very responsive and the location was easy to find. It was great to see the animals and a loving couple of puppers greeting us as we parked. We did not even realize that we had the upstairs too and stayed downstairs which had plenty of room and a good size kitchen. Would stay here again.

Cozy farm

Loved our stay here, was very surprised on how clean and nice everything was. The farm animals were great to show the kids and they loved Leo, the dog, he was super nice and would walk around with them around the land.

Nice place for the price

Animals were very cute and the host was very laid back and responsive. The place is pretty small and not emuculate so people looking for a more hotel like experience may be disappointed but it worked fine for us.

This two story cabin was perfect for our family stay. We enjoyed all the animals at the farm. Leo and snoopy the dog greeted us upon arrival. They were super friendly and helped us not miss our dogs so much. The host was very responsive to questions we had and didn’t have a whole list of to-do’s upon our departure. We hope to go back again soon .

This property is FANTASTIC! Tucked away in the mountains? Absolutely gorgeous. The house check was smooth, host kept us informed and soooooo clean and decorated so cute. The greeting dog (Leo) was absolutely wonderful and friendly. We were only in town overnight for a concert and I wish I had booked this place for the whole weekend to explore this area. This place would be great for a family with the upstairs sleeping loft. The little sweet amenities were so thoughtful. Candy jars for snacking, great coffee station with keurig and creamers. The host really put some thought into decorating and stocking this house. Thank you for sharing your guesthouse with us!
