Secluded Mountain Cabin w/ Decks + Gazebo!

Reviews

• 5 star view. 1 star interaction with management

  3/5

  The area is beautiful and the view from the deck is amazing. Unfortunately, our vacation was nearly ruined because a neighbor reported that they “thought we might have too many guests.” We didn’t. But instead of asking us how many guests we had, we got emergency phone calls and emails to immediately reduce the number of guests to the allowed number. We were below the number. We never even had visitors. Although this is a great cabin with beautiful views, it wasn’t worth the musty smell and the stress of dealing with all of this on our “vacation.”

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Dr Leslie, the right vacation home experience should be relaxing, and we’re sorry to hear that your stay was impacted by these concerns. We shared your feedback with the homeowner, and they’d like to clarify the following:
  - The inquiry about occupancy was intended to ensure compliance with local regulations, not to disrupt your stay. We regret that the communication felt abrupt and are reviewing our approach to make these checks more seamless for future guests.
  - We regularly inspect the property and haven't detected any musty odor, but we will have the cleaning team address any potential sources to ensure the home feels fresh and welcoming.
  We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the beautiful views, and we appreciate you sharing your experience so we can keep improving. Thank you again, and we hope you’ll consider staying with us for a smoother, more enjoyable vacation in the future!

• Truly a cabin in the woods

  3/5

  The property is sorely in need of some updates, though it was entirely serviceable. It has two separate dwellings - a full cabin with 1 bed and bath (and a loft that is only suitable for smaller children), kitchen, living room and a studio apartment with a bedroom and washer/dryer. Lots of decks and a beautiful view over the valley. The cabin has really good wifi.

  The description of the drive to the property does not capture the ruggedness of the approach - had I not had a crossover vehicle we would not have been able to make it to the property!

  All in all, if you're looking for a rugged step above a remote cabin in the woods, this is it.

  Hi Catherine, the right setting can make all the difference, and we’re glad to hear you enjoyed the peaceful “cabin in the woods” vibe, along with the beautiful views and reliable WiFi. After sharing your feedback with the homeowner, they wanted to provide a bit more context:
  - While a 4-wheel drive vehicle isn’t required to reach the property, the mountain terrain can feel rugged, especially for guests with smaller vehicles. The homeowner is planning an updated photo session to better show the approach, helping future guests prepare for the drive.
  - The property is designed to be a comfortable, rustic getaway, and the homeowner regularly maintains it to provide a cozy experience. They’d love to know if there were any specific updates you felt could enhance the cabin.
  Thank you again for your insights, and we hope you found the unique, remote atmosphere to be a refreshing escape. If your travels bring you back to the area, we’d be happy to host you again!

• Beautiful Deck and Views, but Disappointing Management Communication

  3/5

  The cabin itself has a beautiful deck with a great view and a grill, making it a lovely spot to enjoy the outdoors, especially when the weather is good—as it was during our stay. However, there was a noticeable musty smell inside, and the master bathroom has an extremely tight space for the toilet. While I'm not a large person, anyone who is claustrophobic might feel uncomfortable in that space.

  Now, onto the major issue we encountered: Although we were well within the allowed guest limit (4 adults and an infant, for a total of 5 people, when the cabin allows 6), we received an URGENT NOTICE in all caps, demanding that we immediately reduce the number of guests. This notice was based solely on a neighbor’s assumption that we “might” have more than six people. The management didn’t ask us how many guests we actually had; instead, they went straight to making accusations.

  This led to a phone call and voicemail reinforcing the demand, again without any inquiry into our situation. When I explained we were below the guest limit, their only response was to remind us about water usage, which felt dismissive.

  This kind of treatment really put a damper on our stay. If you do choose this property, be very clear and upfront about your guest numbers to avoid similar problems. Otherwise, it could affect your experience as it did ours.
