This was our third stay at Million Stars cabin. It's perfect for our family. House is always clean and welcoming. We love the starry nights sitting at the firepit roasting marshmallows. There are always horses coming through and so many birds and chipmunks. The hosts are so kind and answered immediately in response to a minor issue we had. We will be back again.

The house is in the perfect location in the forest. It is clean, spacious and fully stocked. The host was easy to communicate with and made sure we were enjoying our stay. Watching the wild horses wander through the property every afternoon was amazing! We will be back for sure.

Beautiful property on a great location.

Absolutely beautiful property. The house with perfectly clean and comfortable. The hosts did a very good job communicating, even letting me know about a car accident in the area and to check the roads. One of my sisters left a blanket and they were happy to ship it to her. I would definitely rent this property again.

Wonderful home and amazing views. We enjoyed waking up everyday looking at the forest, feeding squirrels and chipmunks and watching the beautiful blue birds fly. It’s so comfortable and is stocked with everything you might want or need. I’m kind of a clean freak and this homes attention to detail is amazing. We will definitely be back again soon. I miss it already .

Great for family’s

This cabin was very cozy and had lots of room the pictures don’t do it justice. The upstairs bedroom is very big and has a very large nice bathroom. Even though there are neighbors you It is still very private and is surrounded by beautiful pine trees. Back porch is very large And has a nice rocking chair or you can sit and drink your coffee in the morning very beautiful and relaxing I would highly recommend this cabin. They also had lots of games for you to play with your family which was very nice and they had Netflix on their TV so when it was cold outside we could cuddle up inside and watch a movie.
