House is cozy and clean and well equipped with everything you need. Outside is Beautiful and well maintained Just one problem people park in the large parking area to hike to Moss Brae fallsHad a wonderful time
This cabin was perfect for the activities we had planned around the area! Three of us girls stayed, one slept on the bunk bed, one on the other bed and one on the couch. It’s cute and cozy for no more than 4-5 people in my opinion. Shower was a bit small but other than that it met all of our needs. Having a full kitchen to use to save some money was appreciated as well. Hosts were easy to contact and quick to respond.
This was a perfect cabin to stay in. My husband and I stayed here for 4 days. We brought food of course. But I could not believe how well equipped this cabin was. Everything you need and more.
It was clean, and inviting. A welcome sign when you arrive. Omg the best. We did not have one complaint. Make one wish when you stay at other places in the world like hotels, that you wish they had all the amenities this cabin had. We will return again.

Great!....if they let you in!!!
Booked the cabin 2 months in advance, about a week prior was given the address the morning of the trip I realized they didn’t send me any instructions on key codes or how to get in. I immediately sent an email around 8am a few hours later was told the “office will contact me” after another few hours sent another email stating that no one has contacted me yet, all while en route to the cabin we arrived about 4:30pm with no way to enter after driving 4+hours, sitting on the porch trying to get ahold of anyone to help us, we had to contact vrbo to get put up somewhere else for the night.The cabin owner called around 8pm to give us the info after we had just got situated. We lost a lot of food because the hotel couldn’t accommodate everything, and lost time going back to the cabin the next day to set everything up. No one contacted us other than giving us the key info which was a voice mail, no one apologized. The actual cabin was cute and stocked but the neighbors were very rude. I would certainly look else where.
We came from the north to meet friends from the south for a fishing trip. And the cottage was clean, neat and comfortable. The kitchen had amenities like spices and zip lock bags and dish soap which was really appreciated. Yes, the railroad is nearby, but it really didn't disrupt our visit or sleep. We hope to return for another visit!
Although this cabin is close to the tracks and river, and the train is fairly loud, we didn't mind. It's actually my toddlers favorite part. The cabin was cute but small, very clean, and has all the utensils you need to cook. Its a bit too tight if you need to bring a play pen for a toddler to sleep, so be aware, but otherwise, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
Central, family friendly and charming, very cozy cabin. I read about the train, but it really didn't bother us at all. The owner was helpful and provided me a list of family friendly hikes. We would definitely stay there again.
The beds were probably the best, it is hard to find a place where you sleep well. The trains did go through often, but did not bother us one bit, love the sound of trains. Beautiful all around, kitchen had everything we needed and enjoyed sitting in the living room next to the fire. I would definitely come back!

Nice home
Everything is good except you will hear train sound as rail road tracks are near.
Sufficient supply of all household items..
My partner and I stumbled upon Dunsmuir a few years back when looking to celebrate an anniversary. We instantly fell in love with the area. This cabin was the cherry on top of a return trip. The fire was so cozy. The living space had games and books and just felt so welcoming. We didn't want to leave. Our host was amazing and communicated everything we needed. We were already discussing coming back there in the future after day one.
More amenities than expected. Grampa had issues with shower because I am a fat man,, but only knocked soap dispenser off once. TV took all 3 of party to figure that one out.
Great time, very nice cabin!!!!! No fish in the sac yet!
Thanks!
Forest setting, functional, clean and fully equipped.
Peaceful with river just steps away and the wonderful mystery of train , where is it going , where did it come from, sort drive to Mt Shadya city and its Lemurian influence as well as its beauty and hiking, sling and snow shoeing
