Stunning!
From the start Haley had amazing communication, we arrived late so her detailed directions and instructions were perfect. The home was extremely clean, warm and cozy on arrival. The whole process was seamless.The kitchen was fully stocked and ready for cooking. Thanks for allowing us to stay.

Great host, good location to the valley
Our 2nd stay. Very happy with the place. Fits what we are looking for when we come to town and visit family. Good for small families that enjoy a quiet setting in the valley.

Excellent rental!
The property owner was wonderful to work with. She made sure we knew about different places we could go visit as well as some great restaurants. She checked to make sure we didn’t have any problems finding the location - we didn’t. The cabin itself was very nice and very clean. The view was amazing and the location was great. We thoroughly enjoyed our time. It was plenty of space, a great kitchen and lots of extras!

Comfortable and clean cozy cabin!
We had a wonderful stay at this cozy cabin! The cabin was spotless, comfortable, and had everything we needed to make our weekend perfect. The host went above and beyond—providing clear directions and sharing great tips for local spots to shop and dine. It’s clear they put a lot of thought into making sure guests feel welcome and at home. Whether relaxing in the cabin or exploring the area, everything about our stay was seamless. We can’t wait to come back!

Unforgettable stay!
Haley was the best host!!! We felt so blessed and grateful to have had a chance to experience her beautiful property. Although our stay was short we found everything we needed from coffee and tea in the kitchen, to laundry detergent and plenty of towels in the bathroom. Haley was kind enough to notify us when the northern lights were out and we were able to capture some beautiful pictures. We will definitely be staying again in the future!! Thank you again Haley!

Perfect lake cabin close to town
Probably the best vrbo host I’ve had. Very kind and thoughtful. Haley even when I asked if they had a football for my boys to throw in the yard… a new one showed up. And we were able to use the kayaks and paddle boards after signing the waiver. Was so much fun to fish and explore the lake. The house is smallish but it fit our family of 4 just fine and has all you’ll need.
Highly recommend!

Just what we were looking for!
Haley was a supreme host! Our family of 5 were comfortable and happy staying in this adore land clean cabin. Such a beautiful and quiet little place tucked away in a serene setting! Haley had thought of EVERYTHING we could’ve wanted and then some! She even dropped off board games for us and provided the coffee/laundry detergent/soaps/etc we needed to make our stay extra pleasant! We felt cared for and safe. The check in and check out process was smooth and any questions we had —or food recommendations— were quickly answered by Haley. She is very communicative and helpful. We would definitely recommend- it has everything you need here! You won’t be disappointed and it is very clean and pretty:).

Exquisite Stay
My wife and I had rented this place for a birthday getaway. This cozy cabin by the lake was the perfect getaway! The serene surroundings and stunning views of the lake made for a peaceful and relaxing stay. The cabin was clean, comfortable, and had all the amenities we needed. We spent our days fishing, paddle boarding, and enjoying the beautiful scenery. Highly recommend this hidden gem for anyone looking to unwind and connect with nature. 5 stars!
