Absolutely loved this place. When we walked in my son said “it smells so good” this was one of the best cabins we have rented in years. Quiet neighborhood, very clean, our dog loved the fenced backyard. 3 separate patios that I had my coffee while listening to the trees. Will stay here again. Thank you to the host

The property was fantastic and felt like a home away from home. Exactly as described and very homy and comfy. The fenced-in backyard is wonderful too as we were able to let our dogs out off leash to explore and do their business. The property owner was very friendly and responsive. We are already looking at our calendars to figure out when we can go back. We plan to come back at least annually and make it a family tradition.

Love the nature.

Thank you for this awesome experience we really enjoyed the house and backyard, we love that the house is near the woods and that their is a trail, we saw lots of wild life including coyotes, squirrels, and birds of all sorts. Would recommend to everyone.

Amazing location! And fun play structure!

Such a perfect location for a great mountain biking weekend. The zoo was a short walk away, it was an easy ride to the mountain, and the cross country trails are right there out the back gate. The house was fun and comfortable for two couples and one kid. Our son LOVED the play structure in the back and could have spent his whole weekend on the swing! Thanks for a great stay.

Great cabin getaway

Took the two kids to the snow for the first time and this location did not disappoint. It was everything we expected. Close to local stores but backs up to open mountain area. The snow was amazing ! Will look to stay here again.

Cute Cabin close to slopes

The cabin was really cute and the perfect size for my small group. Proximity to Bear Mountain was great too. Things I liked about the space was it’s charm and quirky details. Also the heater in the ceiling in the upstairs bathroom was a nice surprise. Some odd things were no light in the downstairs half bath. Making trips to that bathroom weirdly in the dark or having to have the door open to the kitchen for some light. The beds weren’t the most comfortable but that could also be me falling down the mountain all day and just being sore overall. I would stay again.

Great place for New Year getaway

Cozy cabin in a great location. Stayed here 3 nights with a small group of friends and our dogs. Clean place with all essential supplies you need. Loved the fenced in yard and backyard with quick access to trail and sledding hill. Quiet street with little traffic. Short distance from parking lot shuttle service for ski resorts. Property owner very responsive and helpful. Only feedback to owner I would provide would be updating some lighting throughout the cabin so there’s less need to use extension cords. Pull out couch in living room very small and uncomfortable. Best to bring an air mattress if sleeping more than 6 people.
