This property was very clean and comfortable. It served our needs well. The only downside is there is a house very close, but no one was there during our stay so it was fine.

This property was in a great location. Secluded and quiet so we could enjoy nature. Loved the bird feeders, also a resident rabbit and a black squirrel. The home was so interesting. Walked around and noted so many unique items Some new, some old, and some just unique. Our host, Brian, was so helpful, answered my call when I was having trouble signing into the TV. Clean sheets, plenty of towels, and lots of kitchenware. Would definitely rent from them again if staying in this area.

From the moment we arrived, we knew we were in for something truly special. The Winchester Mystery Cabin perfectly balances modern comfort with an enchanting sense of wonder. It was spotlessly clean, beautifully maintained, and located in the absolute perfect spot. The hosts have thought of everything—the cabin was fully stocked with every amenity we could have possibly needed.The absolute highlight of our trip was exploring the cabin itself. We had an absolute blast discovering all the clever mysteries and hidden secrets woven into the house. It kept us entertained, laughing, and constantly surprised.Beyond the excitement of the mystery, this cabin has a soul. It forced us to step off the grid of daily life, slow down, and just be. We spent hours soaking in the atmosphere, leaving us plenty of space for deep "time and reflection." It’s a rare place that can be both exhilarating and deeply peaceful all at once.A massive shoutout to our hosts, who were incredibly attentive and thoughtful. They checked in on us just enough to ensure everything was to our liking—and honestly, everything always was.
