Really enjoyed our stay. Definitely off the beaten path. Perfect break from the heat, hustle and bustle back home. Cabin had all that we needed for our stay and more. We really only needed to supply our own wood and food/drink. The absence of mosquitos was very pleasant. Would stay longer if we could.
The location is beautiful and the house is clean, however, there was a snake crawling around in the couch and we didnât feel comfortable staying after discovering that. Also, the lake is at least a 25-35 minute walk (we tried walking there both via the dry creek bed as well as the road), not 10 minutes as advertised in the listing. The main reason I chose this property was to access the lake, and it took us a little over 30 minutes each way to walk there. There was also a heavy unsecured metal pole that fell on top of my dog and injured her. I would definitely be extra careful if you choose to bring small children or pets here.
Directions to cabin were vague. Dirt road to cabin was much longer than expected and treacherous.You would not want to drive in the dark. Cabin was cute and clean.Decided not to stay because temperature in cabin was 95-100 degrees with only portable fans that were ineffective. It would have been very uncomfortable to sleep.
We loved the cabin. As an architect i really loved this little gem. Its perfectly designed and feels larger that it is. We loved being off grid wirh just the sound of the wind, birds and occasional coyote. Che k in is very easy and host is easy to communicate with. Its a great place to unwind. We will definitely come back again.
To say our stay at the lovely "Rustic Retreat" was everything we'd hoped it would be, is an extreme understatement!Everything was perfect....and so much better than the pictures portrayed . We spent most of our time outdoors...nestled among the ponderosa pines....soaking in the sun and the crisp mountain air. Inside was cozy and intimate....just right for we two. All the amenities were well thought out as well....and Sona was an amazing host.Cant wait to do it again....we will be back!
Cool little property had everything we needed for a short stay. Kids loved watching the birds and squirrels at feeders. Nice place to unplug and unwind.
My husband and I loved our little overnight getaway here. It was so cozy, quiet and had everything we needed. The host was very easy to reach and always quick to respond.
PEACEFUL! If I had to use one word, that would be it.Cute little cabin back in the woods with no distractions.We were looking for relaxation and solitude and we found it.Itâs off the beaten path, so I recommend a truck or at least an all wheel drive vehicle. Itâs close to everything. You can walk to Lynx Lake and Whiskey Row is a short drive.But we spent 90% of our time right there at the cabin.Sippinâ bourbon by the fire and drinking coffee while the sun came up.
We spent our Christmas week here and enjoyed every moment, it was so cozy sitting by the fireplace while playing boardgames and enjoying eachothers time while both our dogs just chilled with us. I proposed to my now fiance there and will definitely be back to make more memories. The owner Sona was super nice and very helpful, the comuncation was great when i had questions, once again thank you Sona!
My wife and I wanted a one night quick getaway and this was perfect. Off grid so you can really just be in the moment and yet still close to so many things to do. Cute place, secluded (there are few other cabins nearby but only a couple had people in them) and we were able to enjoy a nice evening fire as well as a morning fire too. We really enjoyed our stay and Sona the host is very communicative!
Beautiful property, fully surrounded by the woods with other cabins a decent distance away for a safer feeling. Perfect place for if you have dogs and the surrounding area is very open. The host, Sona was very friendly and communicated everything regarding the trip perfectly. Would love to visit again in the future :)
What a lovely host to make sure everything was set up for our family of five! The cabin was clean and cozy, great space to hang out together and explore the creek running through the property. We watched the deer come by in the morning as we had coffee. Such a great place to unplug and relax.
