The owners take great care and great pride in their property. Close enough to the town of Stanley, but far enough away to be secluded and quiet. Our young family had a wonderful time here.
We stayed in this cabin with our parents while visiting Stanley for a wedding. The cabin was lovely. Both rooms were spacious and the beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch with the gas fire pit in the evenings. The kitchen and living room had everything we needed to make our stay relaxing and comfortable.
We attended a wedding with a group of friends. It was nice to have 2 houses right next to each on other on the property. We had our own rooms and bathrooms and a place to sit outside on the Adirondack chairs to catch up. Bigger than a hotel room, a kitchen to enjoy meals and coffee and a living room area to relax and catch up.
Lovely stay in early spring. Incredibly close to downtown Stanley (6 minute drive) and many trail heads for hiking. Cabin does back up to a road but we had no issues with noise (just something to consider if bringing young children or dogs). Kitchen was incredibly well stocked and there was plenty of room for the four of us to hang out! Great place!
The owners take great pride in this property. It's clean and more-stocked than we anticipated. They made the check-in process simple and were fantastic at communication before, during, and after our stay. No complaints. It's located about 6 minutes outside of Stanley; close enough if you need something, but far enough that it is perfectly quiet and relaxing. This location is perfect for a small family; ours was a family of 5 and it worked great.
Very clean, nice place. Very spacious. I love the hammock chair. It's just a few minute drive from Stanley Lake! We enjoyed it a lot!!The owner, Josh, is VERY nice and helpful. Quick to respond.I wasn't thrilled with the bedroom being so close to the highway in this particular cabin, but I just left a fan on at night and I didn't hear the traffic at all. I would absolutely stay there again and highly recommend it to anyone!!
