Everything was great! The host was nice to work with - especially considering we were coming the day of a winter storm. She was easy to get in touch with, stayed in open communication and was very accommodating considering the conditions. Overall the house was very nice too! The bed was SO comfy, and the wood burning fireplace was perfect!

This cabin is absolutely awesome! Has everything you need in the kitchen. The cabin is so warm feeling, clean, and the beds and furniture so comfortable! Plus it's quiet because it sits at the end of a dead end road! The photos of the cabin in VRBO are exactly what the cabin looks like.

This was a great cabin and was absolutely the cleaner cabin we have ever stayed in. The cabin is very private. The only thing we would change was to add a handheld shower in the large bathroom.

Ms. Cyndie was a pleasure to meet. The cabin was clean and modern. Great layout, and the fireplace was awesome. Very quiet neighborhood and for me the proximity to Townsed was perfect. The bed was very comfortable along with the sofas. Will be staying there again. Highly recommend Trails end. The only issue is the 4 p.m. check-in. Wish it was two or three. Loved our time there.

The Trails End Cabin was amazing, beautiful for our 2 day stay. Wish we had more time there (could have stayed for ever). Owner provided all details for easy check-in Cabin had everything you need. She made a special stop in when we arrived and whirlpool didnt work due to storm surge. Really comfortable bed and pillows.
