The screened porch is a great gathering place and you can enjoy your meals there or at the large outside picnic table. You'll be sharing the landscaped yard with numerous flowers and birds and at night you can enjoy a marshmallow roast at the fire pit. Inside you cam relax in the comfortable living room and enjoy a movie on the new wide screen HD TV. If you have an account on Netflix, Hulu, Pandora or Vudu you can use it to see your own shows.

Wow we felt at home!

We absolutely loved our stay with Watershed Cabins. We felt at home the entire time. In fact we were sad to leave! We spent a week in their cabin and it was stocked with everything we could ever need. I even brought kitchen items I thought I’d need and didn’t have to! It was a very clean property, peaceful and they checked in on us very often. I could type out a novel but I’ll sum it up for you THIS WAS WORTH EVERY PENNY!

I'm sorry to say we entered the property and you could tell it had been closed up for quite some time, very musty smelling and there was a gas smell as well. It did it appear to be dirty. I did not feel safe in the area. Had a very small parking space.

- this cabin is very old and is full of bugs, including cockroaches which are everywhere, on the carpets, on the walls and even in the kitchen cabinets; owner failed to disclose this on the description of the property, only after our arrival they sent a text message notifying us of the existence of the bugs!- there were some garbage and junk leftover from previous guests; I am not sure what the purpose of all those additional fees including cleaning fees are.-some dishes in the kitchen cabinet were dirty (we had to wash everything anyway before usage due to the bugs!)-floor makes a horrible creaking noise-floor and especially carpets throughout the cabin are so dirty that on some spots you cannot tell the original color!-Fridge was smelling terrible! We had to clean it up before using it, some shelf on the top are also broken-small shower/bathroom was moldy and dirty-view of the mountains is great.

Mountain retreat

Very impressed by the cabin. We did have an unlocked window that we found when we first arrived. There were weeds coming through the floor boards in the screened porch and overgrowth by the grille and hot tub. Other than that it was great. We will stay again.Wwill agai again.
