Cindy is the best host! The room is clean and cozy, quiet and safe. During our stay, Cindy introduced us all the waterfalls and fine things to do around, and even planned for us based on our next station. We got chance to pet the friendly dogs and horses, highly recommended and we would come back for longer vacation next time!

Into the Woods

As an animal lover and a lover of being in the woods, I was attracted to this locale and enjoyed it very much. I felt very at home. Gone much of the day and enjoyed the company at night.

Cozy and kind

Staying here was like visiting my favorite great aunt in the mountains lol. Cindy was so kind and hospitable, and even invited us to have dinner with her and friends from the neighborhood. Her dogs were always so excited to see us and her horses will come right up to you as well. Cindy knew all the great places to see waterfalls and to find good food. This is a great option if you're needing a comfortable bed to fall into after a long day hiking and exploring!

Not Private!

We didn't stay. We left. There is nothing private about this property. Owner walks in and out at leisure and the glass doors to "her living quarters" offers zero privacy!

I didn't realize the homeowner was going to be there during our stay. I felt like a part time roommate. Ads for VRBO say thats not supposed to be that way

Cedar Mountain

This is not your typical VRBO. Cindy welcomes you into her home. You have a bedroom, bathroom and family room. Cindy is a fantastic host. She helped us learn about places to visit and made lots of suggestions. She allowed us to use her kitchen and shared her animals with us. She was excited to hear all about our adventures when we returned. One night we returned from an event after midnight. She was still waiting up for us.We felt like family from the moment we arrived.

Not as advertised

I want to start off by saying the host was very nice. However the listing is not accurate The one bed room one bath house is actually a part of the house the host lives in. Was not private in my opinion. It felt as though we were intruding if we went beyond our bedroom and bathroom. The host also failed to inform in the listing of the pets on the property A cat and a dog. Both of which had free reign to that specific area of the house. So had one of been allergic could have been pretty bad. We were woken up by the cat at 4 am crying at our door. The doors to the home were kept open for the animals so I did not feel as though belongings were safe. The host also did not tell us how to turn on the hot water prior or after check in. We took cold miserable showers. The garage across from our room had piles of compost and the smell was very off putting. The bed was hard as a rock and in no way comfortable. We checked out early and luckily found a hotel with one vacancy near by. The listing should be changed to be more accurate.

Fantastic Proximity to trails

Cindy was very welcoming! She was very knowledgeable of the trails and able to give good advice for specific trails. An added bonus was she knew where we were going and when to expect us back, so if anything happened she knew where to look. The animals were expected and very friendly, we even got to feed the horses. We will definitely return and recommend this host for our cycling adventures!
