Beautiful mountain cabin!

My husband and I, along with our little Maltese Buddy thoroughly enjoyed our week-long stay. The cabin is so beautiful and had every amenity we could imagine. The bed was so comfy and the fireplace so warm We enjoyed having coffee on the porch, watching the deer each morning and evening. The host was so nice to call and check in. Would definitely recommend!

Peaceful

It was the best rental we have ever stayed at! The location was great! The home was very comfortable! We slept so well! It was a clean & spacious cabin with beautiful landscaping and a gorgeous view! We loved the river and so did our dog! Judy was so sweet and was there for us if we had any questions for her. We loved the paved roads all the way to the door! It is not steep on the roads, you just have to drive slowly through the development. There were deer around every corner. We will stay there again!

Awesome wonderful cabin

We have been staying at VRBO's for over 10 years. This cabin and owner is by far the best location and owner we have ever had. Judy could not have been more helpful. She is outstanding! The cabin is fully furnished and is absolutely beautiful. My wife and I have already reserved time for next year. We were very blessed to be able to stay in Judy's cabin.

Cant Wait to Return

This was our NINTH stay in this neighborhood and first stay in this cabin and it was wonderful. We can't wait to book again. The cabin is roomy, clean and fully stocked. We loved being on a dead end with no neighbors on one side of us. The mountain view was AMAZING. My husband and I sat each evening on the porch watching the sun set and deer that visited the front yard. We actually tried to book for next year, same time and it's already booked but we'll definitely book again. 10 out of 10.

Beautiful cabin

Our weekly stay started out with rain the first full day. Afterwards, everyday was sunny and beautiful. Made for a great week of mountain riding. The cabin was beautiful and pretty close to the grocery store and various restaurants. Judy the owner, is about as pleasant of a person as you can find.

Relaxing from Folk School

This comfortable cozy cabin provided a needed retreat from my Folk School class. I love Folk School, but it certainly was nice to have a perfect place to relax when finished for the evening. Super porches, nice roomy rooms. There are 3 steps going up to the porch but then it's all on one level. I really enjoyed the walk-in shower and the king size bed on the main level. There were desks in both the main and the guest room, if you need to do a little work while your here. Judy checked in to make sure all was good at check in. I came in February and the weather was awesome, but I would note if the weather was snowy or icy, the hill may be difficult to navigate without a four wheel drive.
