Would come back in a heart beat

I love this place. Wish I could move there! Perfect for one or two people who love the outdoors and an amazing view from your bedroom, with privacy and hiking right out your door. The cat was a gem and great bonus for a lonely soul. The rocks in the outdoor shower felt great on my feet. I had lots of privacy, quiet neighborhood. Thank you so much for sharing your space!

Fairfax relax

This property was great! I loved the cabin and the view. Wish it would have been in the original post that the shower is down about 16 stairs. We were also greeted by a beautiful orange kitty named Bo when we woke up one morning! They were so sweet but tried to come in the cabin. No worries for us, we love animals!

Happy for the cabin with a view!

If you have an adventurous spirit and love the outdoors, this place is for you! It has an incredible view from inside the cabin or on the deck in front of the cabin. If it is cold, or want privacy, you convert the thick canvas ceiling above the outside deck into a wall, covering the screen. This does, however, block the view. It was cold and windy at night when I stayed there, and yet I was toasty warm inside. There is a food store, Good Earth, literally right down the street, where you can get food. They have a great selection of to go items both hot and cold. You can eat there too. I loved it here and definitely would like to come back sometime. My only complaint is the toilet was difficult to use. But it wasn't a deal breaker for me.

Amazing views

As described and was exactly what I expected for my trip. The weather was challenging but even on a damp rainy night the bedroom was really cozy with the screen down. Gina was a great host.
