Magically Christmas Stay
My family and family friends stayed here for our Christmas vacation. It was amazing! The cabin was beautiful and had everything we needed. It was a perfect location. We like to walk to places, mostly, and the cabin was just a couple minutes to the downtown shopping area. We loved every about it. The hosts were very easy to communicate with. We would stay here again. Highly recommended!

Cozy Cottage
This was an excellent property that met our needs for my husband and two 70+ year old relatives. One seventy year old with slight mobility issues was able to navigate the home without issues. The cottage had everything you could need, plenty of towels, kitchen well stocked, and great lighting throughout. Highly recommend this property.

Fantastic Stay
The location of the property was ideal to be close to town where we could walk everywhere near and we had access to both entrances of the park with ease. The house was very clean, had everything we needed, plenty of space, and was an overall comfortable stay and environment. I’d recommend the location to anyone and look to book again in the future if available!

Wonderful Stay :)
House is well taken care of with little features that made this a great stay. Love the notes that helped us navigate the house & the stuff in drawers/cabinets was laid out so you can find what you're looking for. Kitchen well stocked with all the essential cookware & utensils. Only suggestion is that it would be great if coffee was provided for at least the first morning. Beds were very comfy and we loved that there are extra pillows and blankets available. Master bedroom is beautiful and the thick carpeting on the stairs keeps things quieter. The whole house has a cozy feel to it & can't beat the location! Quiet neighborhood...don't worry about the barky dogs across the street...thought it might be a problem, but they settled down. Couple minute walk to downtown shops, bars & restaurants and the Birch Ruins are nearby if you want a place to take a short walk and learn a little history about this area. Communication with the owner was excellent. Seriously, this is one of the best VRBOs my family has stayed in.

The property was excellent and had everything that we could have needed for a perfect stay. It is a great location that allowed us to walk to the downtown area during our stay. It provided a very relaxing environment to recharge after a day of hiking in the park. I would definitely recommend this to others and plan on staying here again on future trips!

Great location and the home will have everything that you need. Just a short walk down to downtown or just hang back in the living room and look at the mountains or the deer that frequent the area. Just such a cool and comfortable place. We can’t wait to come back!

This house is so cute and comfortable. We didn’t cook since we were in town for a wedding, but it would’ve been easy to do so. It was super to be able to walk to the shopping area, and the patio table on the front deck was a favorite spot. Thank you for sharing your cute place!
