The cabin was so cute, had everything we needed, and the view was incredible. The pictures online do not do it justice. The location is a great home base for many area hikes, towns, and wineries. I found this listing based on its proximity to my favorite winery (Limoges Cellars). My group especially loved the hot tub, which heated beautifully! Direct foot access to Mount Yonah was great too. Don’t hesitate in booking!

My husband and I and our 2 children (late 20’s) and their spouses enjoyed hot tub time, meals, games and hiking! The view from the cabin is so great - better than any hike! Families with little kids need to be careful with stairs - but we don’t have any little ones yet. Host was awesome, very informative & attentive.

All of the great reviews of this property are correct. It is well managed, very "homey" and the views are stunning! My wife and I were celebrating our 42nd wedding anniversary and loved the hot tub with a couple of glasses of wine each night. The surrounding countryside is gorgeous. I had a little problem with the wi-fi and the host quickly and graciously set me on the right path. We would love to stay there again.

Absolutely stunning property! Wonderful amenities, very spacious and views from back deck are the best. Very easy to access, being only a few minutes from town, but once on the mountain, it's as if the world melts away! Easy to get to the trailhead for hikes. Alan was an amazing host, quickly answering any questions that we sent to him, and stocking the home with everything that we would need for a wonderful week. We will definiteily return!

The cabin was mostly private and the views did not disappoint. The view from the deck was outstanding. We could hear the neighbors when they were on their back deck and also smell their cigarette smoke but both of those were fine overall and didn’t impact our stay. Cleanliness of kitchen utensils and blackstone was lacking however. The king bed upstairs was also in need of an upgrade in our opinion. Guest instruction binder was also outdated and we found ourselves going back and forth in Vrbo app and binder to find the correct information (WiFi password for example was incorrect in the binder but correct in the app). Overall we enjoyed our stay and can see ourselves returning in the future.

Hi Taylor, thank you so much for taking the time to give us this review and for the very detailed feedback. Glad you enjoyed the views. We appologize that you had to experience someone making noise etc, that is very unusual. Sounds like our housekeeper dropped the ball with our blacksone grill and tools outside on the deck, we have mentioned this to our housekeeper, thanks for letting us know.
Hope you come back soon.
Warm regards
