Perfect Backcountry cabin

This was exactly what we were looking for. To be out on a dirt road in the quiet with the stars and the animals.

Great Cabin

This was our second time staying here and we had another wonderful time! We enjoyed sitting on the front deck listening to the birds and watching the deer. We also took many different adventures using the cabin as base camp. We will definitely be back!

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.

Beautiful fully outfitted cabin

We had the best time at the cabin - a great jump off to alpine, Nordic, snowshoeing, hot springs and the rest Sun Valley has to offer. Thank you for hosting and offering as pet-friendly!

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?

Stayed for five nights with my dog and husband. Cozy, quiet and private. Property has “the best” of everything- plush towels, three options for making coffee, all the cooking supplies you could want, wood ready for the stove, and dog dishes!

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.

The Emerald Gem is a sweet cottage in a quiet location. It is meticulously maintained and warmly appointed. It has great access to Warm Springs Creek for anyone interested in fishing. The owners are considerate and responsive. We hope to be back soon!

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.
