• Fun Family Getaway

  5/5

  This cozy cabin retreat was exactly the vibe I was looking for to create lasting memories with our children and grandchildren. There were 17 of us ranging in ages from 3-62.

  The cabin was beautiful with fun mountain decor everywhere!! My son -in-law created an entertaining scavenger hunt using pictures that he took of different items in the cabin. He texted them out to the group and the first to locate them all won!

  The kitchen was AMAZING with high end appliances and barbecue. It was well stocked with every item needed to feed a large or small group. We loved cooking here! There were games both indoor and outdoor and some of us took morning walks where we always spotted deer and other critters. Hiking trails were nearby too and the views of the lake were spectacular from the deck. We spent a lot of time at the lake and getting raspberry shakes, but wished we had spent even more time at the cabin.

  The AC worked great and we always felt comfortable between the bedroom fans, AC and open windows in the cooler hours of the day.

  It was a little tricky at first getting the grandkids to sleep in the loft because the adults wanted to stay up later and visit in the main area. However after a long day at the lake the kids slept well despite the noisy parents.

  Also, if you are an early riser, you'll love sleeping in the loft, because the sun gently wakes you up and you'll see picturesque views in every window! (If you like to sleep in, bring eye masks and you'll be happy too)

  The cleanliness was 10/10 and communication with the owner was great! They helped accommodate our needs as well as making us feel so welcome.

  This place is truly magical and you'll want to go back again and again!

• Just the thing!

  5/5

  This location was a great base for our family trip to Bear Lake. Nine adults and 4 little kids settled in nicely to this beautiful cabin. The surrounding area is stunning and we enjoyed even a very rainy day passing time in the cabin. The game room was a huge hit with all ages. The kitchen is very well stocked with cooking equipment if you plan to do a lot of cooking, which we did. The beds were great, the location is quite separated from other cabins. There is a beautiful dead pine tree to the north, right off the balcony, where you can bird watch from dawn to dusk. Bring your binoculars!

  5/5

  Property was fun, well decorated, in a perfect location and exactly as described. Hosts had addressed renter comfort and furnished the property to take care of every reasonable need. We rented the property for a family reunion and there were activities for all ages. Everything was clean and very well organized. Two thumbs up.

• The air conditioning did not work!

  3/5

  When we first got there it was stifling hot. The air conditioner would not cool it off. We were lucky we had a heating and air guy with us who cleaned the filters that were covered in dust!!! That seemed to help the main living area but did nothing for the bedrooms!! None of us got any sleep because it was so hot. One bedroom had a window that would not open, so that family ended up sleeping out on the couch and floor!! Plus there are so many decorations there is no place to put your belongings! Also no yard space at all. Luckily we were able to utilize the decks for the kids to play on. There is no grass, just heavy vegetation or gravel driveway

  Manager's Response:

  From the owner: "Camille,
  We were very surprised by your review because what you viewed as negative, specifically the decor, is seen as a positive by most of our guests. Our reviews are full of guests raving about how unique our cabin is and how they love the decor. We are so sorry that the cabin did not meet your expectations.
  You also indicated that there is nowhere for kids to play, just heavy vegetation. Again, the majority of our guests consider the location a great benefit. The cabin is at the mouth of Fish Haven canyon, so trees and vegetation surround it. Guests comment that they love the secluded location, and several have detailed that their children love exploring the wooded area on foot. You emailed me before your arrival and asked if there was an area to play kickball, and I responded that there was not and suggested a local park you could use for group activities. Our listing also includes many aerial pictures of the outside of the cabin, including the vegetation and gravel driveway, so that you, or any potential guest, can make an informed decision about whether our cabin aligns with your needs & wants before booking.
  As for the air conditioning, I do appreciate you bringing the dusty filters to our attention. The air conditioning was installed at the beginning of the 2022 season, and after seeing your feedback, our cleaning and maintenance crew will be cleaning the filters more frequently. In our listing, central air conditioning is not listed as an amenity, so the majority of the guests have been pleasantly surprised rather than frustrated. I also give great advice in the "Welcome Book" on how to keep the cabin cool and comfortable.
  Thank you for the feedback. I hope you can find something that matches your needs and expectations next time you book a vacation rental. Thank you"
