Excellent stay! The house is private, quiet, provides gorgeous mountain views, and is well stocked. The game room was a real plus for the 2 kids! Sitting on the porch and enjoying the mountain breezes was so relaxing at the end of the day or with a cup of coffee to start the day. On top of a fun family weekend, two kids lost 3 teeth and the Tooth Fairy is on the way!

Thank you so much for the kind review, we are so happy you enjoyed your stay. 😊
Sincerely,
Rich and Perinda
My husband and I with our 2 pups had an amazing time at the Warne cabin. The neighborhood is peaceful and serene, the view is beautiful and majestic, and the cabin is spacious, comfortable, and very clean! The host Perinda kept open communication with us and always was available to talk/text. Our dogs loved the walks around the neighborhood and we truly enjoyed every moment. The access to the home is easy. The phone reception is a bit spotty entering the gated community but no problems gaining it back!

We recently stayed in this cabin over a long weekend — and it is beautiful. The pictures are accurate, but do not do the cabin justice in conveying how relaxing, homey, and well equipped it is.
Rather than repeat everything in the listing - I’ll simply validate it. Some quick highlights that bear mentioning:
- There are neighbors, but they’re nowhere close to this home, and the views off the balcony are unparalleled. Views are limitless of nearby mountain ranges and wooded lands — really no development in sight, and provided the weather cooperates, you can catch some great views of the stars.
- The loft area houses the king bed; given this location, you have full view out the large vaulted windows of the main living area. During our stay, we didn’t have any direct sunlight pour in, so while there is plenty of light, it was not “too much.”
- The kitchen is stocked with cooking essentials, so cooking a meal in is super easy.
- Dine inside or outside - your choice! There’s a kitchen table and an island for dining inside, but we especially loved the high-top table outside with an umbrella while enjoying a couple of meals.
- The basement is stocked with all sorts of gaming options; a ping pong table, board games, game consoles and multiple TVs.
- You’re still connected, if you want to be. Starlink WiFi/internet was reasonably fast and cell service (on AT&T and Verizon) was also available.
- The cabin is homey, like I mentioned. We enjoyed the decorations and touches the hosts had — inclusive of some funky art/decorations and a collection of tea pots.
Special shout out to the host/owners, Perinda and Rich. They were so very kind couldn’t have been happier to respond to our questions or requests, which were quickly responded to. Thank you, both!
From the Owner: "Thank you so much for the awesome review. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and had a wonderful vacation!"
