Some key issues
3/5 The person who booked my stay got the dates wrong. They didn’t call me to confirm the booking dates. the only person that helped us was the contact at the site when we arrived. She went above and beyond to get the place cleaned. I Believe her name was April

Cabin okay
3/5 This place is conveniently located to get to Bear Valley for skiing (about 20-30 minutes away) and to the Luberoom to eat. This place served our needs but here are a few things to keep in mind. The bathroom has no vent and the shower is unusual with part shower curtain part sliding door, be sure to keep the curtain inside the shower frame or else the floor will get drenched. This may explain the initial mildew smell in the bathroom. There was also no blow dryer despite having that listed in the amenities. The vent over the stove also does not work. This area requires you to take away your trash on check out in Avery (keep in mind they are closed on Wed/Thurs) which resulted in having to drive our garbage home with us.
Cute little cabin
4/5 The location was great, easy to find and get to. The property size was nice and kids had fun playing right in the yard, we felt safe from cars. Very quiet neighborhood.
Loved the mud room, we were in the snow so it made organizing snow gear so easy. The size of the cabin was decent, huge beautiful bathroom and easy to maintain a good temperature with the space heater (we only used one of the two) and temp regulated fire place. There were cards and games and the kitchen was stocked with decent to good items to use. Plenty of pillows and blankets and it was clean.
There were a few cons. There wasn’t enough comfortable seatings. The loveseat holds 2 and the rocker holds one, we’re a family of 4 (twins) so the kids fought over seats. There were plenty of extra chairs, but that’s not cozy. Thankfully there were plenty of blankets and pillows to make a comfortable spot on the floor. The bed was hard for my liking but my children and husband were comfortable. The biggest concern we had was the smell of propane in the cabin. When we would go out for the day, shutting everything off and returning hours later it was a bit overwhelming. We live in a propane fueled home and know that’s not normal. Easy fix and hopefully next people don’t have that complaint.
Otherwise it was a fabulous experience and we will be back!
Some key issues
3/5 Clean. Cozy. Nice area. Walking distance to a great little store. But some issues:The road to get up to the driveway was covered with ice and snow. The person who plows it is injured, so it’s not getting plowed and therefore, dangerous. This was NEVER MENTIONED. Like others before us (we found out later),we got stuck. You can only use one space heater, but there’s 2 bedrooms. If you use 2, you blow a fuse. So, one bedroom will be COLD. Also, not mentioned and a big problem if you have kids with you.There’s a floodlight that is bright and blinding that shines into the bunk bed room and directly on the fire pit area at night. It won’t shut off; found out this is broken and in need of repair.Outside of these issues, the place was nice.
