Enjoyed the location.
This was the perfect quick stay location for us and it was close to the mountains. One issue is that room is listed as sleeping Four. That is incorrect and is only a single bed that sleeps too. We may do, but it might be inconvenient if there's three adults.

Great location and beautiful property
This is a beautiful 1800's cabin. A good mesh of old and new. Location is perfect as you are a very short drive to restaurants and markets but situated on a property with beautiful views and gorgeous star gazing. This cabin is cozy and comfortable but know because it is an old cabin and its situated in a country atmosphere there is the possibility of critters. We stayed in a winter month and enjoyed the fireplace which is main heat source along with space heaters. Parking is not located in front of the cabin. There is a short walk through the property to unload. You are instructed to conserve water as the main source is a well. Hot water is adequate. This is a multi unit property so dont expect seclusion. Other guests we ran into are very friendly. Would definitely return if in the area again.

Christmas getaway
Beautiful scenery amd cute cabin. Door by bedroom did not secure properly so just an fyi. Other than hearing the other guests fighting and yelling, it was a great experience. Cozy cabin with everything you need.

Thanksgiving Getaway
Upon entering the adorable cabin, we were greeted with a cozy fire in the fireplace. The decor has been perfectly placed and well thought out. You have the feeling of being transported into the 1800's, yet have all of the modern conveniences.
The four poster bed was extremely comfortable and included plush pillows.
The location is easily accessible and feels private.
There is a cute cafe within a two minute drive.
We will definitely return.
