"The bathroom was the poorest excuse of a bathroom that I have ever seen! I’m sure it was an add on because it was so small and uncomfortable… a tiny shower & sink & very little room to store anything or move around."

"It’s a beautiful home in a great location. It had all the room our group needed and the kitchen was both well stocked and a delight to cook in. There was a glitch with the wifi, Kristin was quick to communicate, provided information about available wifi in town, arranged for the repairs and provided a discount for our inconvenience. I would absolutely and highly recommend this home away from home."

Charming dog-friendly home with covered deck, W/D, & mountain view

Charming dog-friendly home with covered deck, W/D, & mountain view

8/10 Good
"We loved our stay in this cabin! It was perfect for our group of four adults. It was a great space to relax, work a puzzle, and play games. We enjoyed the outside patio and the nice breeze. We prepared several meals at home, and the kitchen was adequately equipped. There are also some great hiking trails nearby. We were there during a hot week with the highs in the 90s. I was concerned that we would be really uncomfortable and disappointed that there was no AC. But by opening up the house when it had cooled down every night, using the fans for airflow, and leaving it open until the morning, we were able to keep it cool enough.As others have stated, the driveway is steep. One of our low sitting cars scraped a little when pulling in or out of the driveway. There was a small issue with refrigerator leaking onto the floor. It didn’t seem to affect the performance fridge or freezer, although they were on the older side and had no water or ice dispenser. Customer service responded appropriately, and hopefully it is resolved now.I think it should also be noted that the entrance to the loft area is through the door of the master bedroom. So just beware of that if you’re planning to use that area as a sleeping area. We had an EV and a hybrid which we needed to charge. Using a long extension cord from the porch area down to the driveway, we were able to charge one vehicle at a time. We would stay here again, given the opportunity, especially in more moderate weather."
