We loved staying in your cute cabin. It was fun exploring your beautiful property. Loved feeding your pet fish and listening to the many birds that came to visit. I didn't need to use my sound machine because of the natural water running down the mountain. Thank you for a wonderful, relaxing few days.

We had an AMAZING stay! The cabin was decorated with phenomenal Native artwork and the property was beautiful. One of the best things about the home was its personality and the ability for the teens to have their own spaces, but also a great yard for family time around the fire or on the balcony/porch. The host gave great recommendations and was a fabulous communicator. We enjoyed the local wildlife. Tons of fish, chipmunks, and other cute wildlife on property. It was an easy drive to the local downtown and grocery store. I definitely recommend this property and these hosts!!

We had a wonderful time staying in this cute log cabin, it felt very homey. The property itself was lush with plants and flowers and a bonus fish pond where we enjoyed watching them go crazy over the food. This was a Birthday fishing trip for our son. There was six of us and had plenty of room, it had wonderful basement space to enjoy a game of pool. The house was fully stocked with all nessarey amenities. The parking space was a bonus for our 2 boats. The house was nicely located to the boat doc, only 5 min away. I hope we can visit again. Christine

Our stay was exactly as imagined. The property owners were great with communicating. Had alot of ideas of hiking and different scenic views. The property was fantastic. Room to roam with 2 ponds on property. My 6 year old daughter loved to adventure and feed the fish. Overall a fantastic stay!

Quiet, relaxing place to stay. Loved feeding the pet trouts. Caught a few bass in the lower pond. Perfect place to stay for a motorcycle trip. Big garage and easy to park a 16’ trailer. Not much around in Andrews but this was a motorcycle trip so that didn’t bother us.

Very nice, and quiet location. Kitchen is fully stocked with anything you need. There is alot of owner items in the home that I think there should be less of, however it didnt negatively affect our stay at all. Pleanty of space for a family with 3 levels, each level with beds and a bathroom! The hot tub was great during a winter stay.Lots to drive to see semi-close. We hiked, shopped local and drove lots of mountain roads.We will definitely be back if we olan another trip to this area.

The cabin is gorgeous and roomy. The decor is really cool and the view is amazing. The hosts provide wifi which is a lifesaver considering where the property is located (little to no cell service). I had a BLAST feeding and watching the fish in the pond. You can watch the fish from one of two park benches by the water or from the deck off the main level of the house. The bird feeders are great for early morning bird songs and watching some seriously fat squirrels and a couple of chipmunk...the chipmunk will take off once they see you, so watching from inside was the best way to see those cute little critters. The hosts were friendly and helpful with answering my questions. The entire drive to and from the cabin was breathtaking.... Be ready for a bit of a drive... It is totally worth it though.

Peaceful retreat

Beautiful property from the outside in. We enjoyed the little running creek in the back, and the firepit at night. Inside plenty of space and activites for the family to spread out and not be on top of one another. Would definitely stay again.
