This place was lovely, and well-suited for our girls weekend. We loved the comfy beds, the stocked kitchen, the fireplace, and the wonderful balcony. We share many memories and would love to visit again. The photos do not do this place justice!

The cabin was beautiful. We stayed in late December during a blizzard -- the cabin was cozy and we felt like we were in a Hallmark movie.

We really enjoyed our stay. It was spacious, comfortable, cozy, and quiet. We loved the proximity to the trail, too. The only thing we were surprised about was that there weren’t any window treatments in the bedrooms.

About the host

Hosted by Renee Hasleiet

Host profile image
My husband and I previously lived in this beautiful home, but with the decline of my husband's health, we moved closed to our children. We miss it!

Why they chose this property

We owned the land for 20 years and always wanted to build a log cabin on it. The quiet of the country and the beautiful scenic bluff views make a relaxing atmosphere. Having coffee in the swings or love seat on the covered porch or a glass a wine is a great way to start and end the day!

What makes this property unique

This a great place with plenty of room for a family reunion or just for two for a romantic get away.
