The cabin was a delightful place to stay with our kids and 2 small dogs. We appreciated finding coffee for the mornings and also some bug spray for the Little Grand Canyon hike. When we had questions, the host was responsive and friendly as well. We would definitely book again!

It was a nice cabin. But the fire pit was actually a gas fire table that we couldn’t get to work (no response from the host when I sent a text). Also we couldn’t get the hot tub to heat up above 94, I didn’t bother to text again. There are plenty of cabins in the area so we’ll find something else next time.

Response from VrboOwner on 1 June 2026
The short response: Make sure you are texting the correct number....:-) If I don't respond, call me! The longer response: I was completely dumfounded when I saw this review. I went through and reviewed all my my texts for that time period and saw nothing. Then I reviewed the VRBO messages, still nothing. Then I thought, maybe I deleted it? So I texted the guest and told them I did not see any texts, and did it perhaps come from another number? I really wanted to see where I dropped the ball! She responded with the fact that she texted the wrong number and would try to amend the review. Later she said she spoke to VRBO and they were going to delete this review. However, it still hasn't happened yet...:-(

Great location, cleanliness, and communication. Loved the hot tub after hiking. Would definitely stay again. Kitchen is well-supplied with utensils, appliances, and essential needs (salt, pepper, spices), but bring any condiments or other pantry essentials you will need. This location does not have many of these items that sometimes are provided or left by previous guests. Not a criticism, because I don't expect that such items will always be available, just an FYI for future guests.
