Fantastic, we will be back!
The house has been updated nicely especially bathrooms! Great view and the screened in porch is amazing! The location is fantastic, close to The Guesthouse and the farmer's s market too! If you are planning to cook a lot as we did, there is not a ton of counter space and no dishwasher.

Lovely, as always
We loved our stay at the cottage, and are repeat visitors. Great location, proximate to Guesthouse, Lost River state park, Lost & Found pizza, Vintage Variety, and they have a lovely farmers market/cafe at the bottom of the house on Saturdays. Would recommend to anyone. Fantastic valley view.

A slice of heaven
This is our second stay at this property. We LOVE it here. The location, the view, the star gazing! The house itself is lovely and the newly enclosed deck area was perfect. I’ve already recommended it to friends of ours and we’ll definitely be back for a third visit!!

Peaceful vacation
This is the second time we have stayed here. The addition of the screened in deck was truly magnificent. We also discovered if you turn on WiFi calling in your settings you can use your cell phone for texting and calling even without cell service. We absolutely had the most relaxing week. We will be back.

Beautiful cabin on a hill
Wonderful base camp to explore the area. Comfortable, spacious, and clean. The farmers market and café at the bottom of the hill owned by the same folks as the cabin is also delightful. The only negative was that the water had a slight sulfur smell, so if that bugs you bring bottled water, but it wasn’t too bad. Would absolutely stay here again.

Beautiful, peaceful retreat
Tammy was a wonderful host and very responsive! The chalet was spotless and very comfortable and peaceful - the perfect retreat! We had 2 adults and a small dog, but there seems to be plenty of room & privacy for 1-2 other couples/families. The kitchen was well equipped to make a few simple meals. The screened in porch was breathtaking and we enjoyed having dinner on the porch. The house is on top of a very steep hill, so it made for a good cardio workout just running around with my dog for a few minutes, lol. The house is supplied by well water and does have a strong sulphur smell (as others noted), but we got used to it after a couple days. FYI - The roads leading up to the property are gravel, but seems manageable for most cars.
