Great spot right on Christopher Creek. Cabin is classic A Frame. Pet friendly and our dog loved the warmth of the fireplace and sitting on the back deck. Saw elk walk right up by the backyard walking down the river. Would visit again!

Our stay at this property was truly memorable. The cabin was clean and stocked with everything we needed. Of course we spent most of the time on the deck listening to the creek and looking at the beauty surrounding the place. Watching 3 huge elk wandering around the neighborhood was spectacular.

The VRBO app made it difficult to communicate with the host. The place was well-stocked.I loved it when a bull elk wandered into the front yard and ate apples off the ground within a few feet from the house while we watched from the front stairs.

I went up for a few days to escape the July heat in PHX. Great place, great location, clean, and well appointed with just about everything you need. An added bonus was the level 2 EV plug easily accessible by the driveway. I was able to charge my EV with no problem and eliminated my "charging anxiety" LOL!

Like staying at a friends, the cabin is comfortable and welcoming. Very well stocked, we brought everything from coffee to toilet paper just in case and they had everything and then some. A wonderful experience

The perfect getaway for the weekend. A cozy cabin nestled in the woods with an amazing deck to sit and listen to the creek while drinking coffee. The living area was great for playing games and watching our shows on the available WiFi. The beds were comfortable and warm during the cool nights. We are definitely returning to this amazing destination!!

Wonderful. Peter, our host, provided clear directions as well as a fantastic, functional A-frame full of character. Coffee in the morning on the back deck near the creek was lovely. We cooked several meals while we stayed, finding all necessary tools and pans with ease. There were many sleeping options including a queen sized bed in the loft. Our family looks forward to visiting this property again.
