Reviews
Logan
We absolutely love this cabin! It truly feels like home! We've stayed here three times now, and every visit has been perfect. The peaceful sound of the creek and the beautiful mountain surroundings make it the ideal getaway. The cabin is spotless, cozy, and stocked with everything you could possibly need. During our stay, we were lucky enough to experience a gentle snowfall, which made our hike up to Sliding Rock and the waterfall absolutely magical. We can't recommend this rental enough and can't wait to come back again!

Things you need to know
Firewood for the firepit may be added anytime prior to 7 days (1 week) before your arrival. Wood is $25/nt and you receive 2 bundles of wrapped kiln-dried wood + 1 firestarter per night.
All properties are set up for light housekeeping, including linens and towels. We provide a starter kit of toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap, hand soap, bathroom toiletries, laundry detergent, and garbage bags. It’s enough for one or two nights, but will likely not be enough to get you through your entire stay. If you are staying for an extended length of time, you should plan to bring some supplies from home or plan to purchase these items at a grocery store when you arrive.
Homes are not stocked with cooking oils or spices, hairdryers, condiments, coffee, coffee filters, or food storage items including plastic wrap or foil. Our homes come equipped with a basic set of cookware, sufficient plates & silverware for the occupancy of the home, and basic serving and baking dishes. Most homes do not have unusual items such as crock pots or blenders, so if you’re planning a dish that requires an unusual item it is best to bring that from your home.
We provide one towel and washcloth per person that each respective house accommodates, plus a few extra towels if there is a hot tub. The beds are made up with clean linens (except bunks, sleepers, and futons, but linens are provided on-site). If you routinely use two towels after bathing, you may need to bring some of your own.
