Great place

Spouse and I took our first 2 week vacation in years and could not have found a better place to stay. While "small", it was the perfect size for the two of us and our dog. Great place to return to after snowshoeing or great place to just sit and read a book. Would definitely stay here again, and in a different season.

Peaceful

We had a wonderful time! The property was fun to explore. The cabin was a perfect size and we loved using the wood stove to warm up. They had a very well stocked kitchen. Usually there’s always something missing, like a can opener, but they had everything that you would need. You won’t regret renting this home.

Perfect Secluded get away close to adventure

This place was fantastic. The perfect combination of rustic seclusion with nice creature comforts. All appliances, furniture, kitchen supplies, etc were all top notch. Service or having fires set and ready to go was great.Exceeded our expectations.One piece of advice for other travelers - you drive down about 3 miles of dirt road to reach cabin. It is well maintained but there are many potholes and therefore I would encourage you to arrive before dark. We arrived after dark on our first night and got surprised by a few of them!We saw a heard of Elk each day which was very cool. Again, highly recommend this property.

My stay could not have been better

We found the cabin exceed all of the (already high) expectations we got from the VRBO listing. On one hand, the back wall of the cabin looks out directly into the forest -- you can sit on the couch and peer into the endless trees for hours. Foxes and elk occasionally roam by your front porch! On the other hand, the kitchen is one of the most modern ones I have seen! I loved the wooden cabinets, and some day would love to own one just like that. Finally, I appreciated all the natural cleaning products that Gabriela stocked the cabin with. I apologize for a rambling review, but there are too many great things to say about the cabin. I cannot wait to be back. Gabriela is a fantastic host and always responded to all questions promptly.

The perfect place to get away! Cozy, quiet area in the wilderness. We watched deer right in the backyard. Hot Springs are just a 10 minute drive up the road! Lots of options for things to do that aren’t too far away. We went hiking and exploring every day and returned to a nice peaceful place to stay!

This place far surpassed my hopes and expectations. It is even more quaint and cozy than the pictures and felt so clean. There was no close access to the creek which was a little disappointing, but the surrounding trees and area were unbelievably perfect. 10/10. Absolutely amazing.

Very nice. However, it was short on toilet paper, tissue paper, and paper towels. Very minimal supplies. As nice as this place is, one goes away feeling we were pinched. Now, is this really worth it? Please, provide the adequate supplies that are expected. We all love 130 Sandy Lane! So why spoil anyone's experience, simply to save a penny?

Great little cabin nestled in the woods

My husband was a little hesitant after driving 6 miles on a dirt road into the woods, but that quickly disappeared after he saw how wonderful this little cabin and the quiet location was! So much better than staying in town. Our dog loved exploring in the woods and catching her ball in the front yard. Gabriela thought of everything - even a box fan for those of us who need noise to sleep! I highly recommend this cozy rustic cabin if you enjoy peace and quiet.

Beautiful, relaxing place to stay

This property was exactly what we needed. It was private, with some neighbors nearby, but no one within view. The creek sound is really nice. It stays really cool because the spot does not get a lot of sun, which is great for this time of year in the summer. It was very cozy. It had more amenities than anywhere I have stayed, as far as kitchen items, bathroom items, and whatever else you might need. I would stay again anytime.
