There is a hose on the property for guest to use, but because we are on a slope it is difficult to access so we ask for guest to use extreme caution.

The cameras are located in the front facing the street/driveway, one facing the shed (at the bottom of the stairs) and one behind the shed facing the back of our property.*** We look forward to hosting you in our home away from home!!


Please note:
It is an old cabin with some funny quirks, so should you ever have any questions on how to work something, please don't hesitate to reach out! Please note that the style of outdoor chairs may change due to needing to be replaced if a guest breaks and the arrangement of the chairs, charcoal grill and propane griddle will vary. There is also an umbrella now on the table. Also please note the bedroom arrangement of furniture, and color of sheets/blankets may change.

Great place

Neighborhood is great. Home is great. I would say the water temp in the shower was not the greatest so we warmed up water and used the hot water from the bathroom sink to bathe our kids. Karen who helps the homeowner is great and very attentive.

Great!

The stay was awesome, the elk right outside the door were amazing!! A couple things like trash bags were out, I had trouble reaching some things in the kitchen cabinets (I'm very short though so that's mostly on me) but overall the stay was great. The arms of the couch were loose but it didn't cause us any grief and it's tough if you have a toddler that gets into everything so keep that in mind! Not very baby proofing friendly.

Elk Retreat

Need hand railings next to steps outside and inside house. Need more than a roll and a half of toilet paper. A gate would be great at the entrance to the porch. Other than that, seeing cow elk and 4 spikes up close was pretty Awesome!

Amazing

There was plenty of board games to play and it was cozy and beautiful we got to see many wild life like deer and squirrels. If your going to explore there are many good hiking trails if your there to relax that’s good to everybody was very friendly. One thing I do suggest is if your there to shop the small town does close down early through the week so might have to go up or down some more.

Strawberry Cabin weekend

Very clean property located in the pines of strawberry approx. 6 miles north of pine. Cabin has large elevated patio with beautiful views. Large cow elk with their calves walk though the property just to say Hi. Cabin has 2 bedrooms and could sleep 6 comfortably, property also allows pets for those with extended family members. Restaurants and entertainment just down the road with groceries available in pine. Perfect getaway for a short weekend in the mountains.

Short stay

The property was in a pretty setting and the cabin met all our needs. It has a beautiful deck to enjoy the outside. My only complaint would be the drive way. Parking is sketchy.

Fantastic family cabin

This cabin knocked it out of the park. As a single father of four, I knew I would forget a few things and according to the listing, they claimed it was well stocked with pot pans etc… as advertised they had everything on hand to meal prep. Scenic location not far from the trails.

Why they chose this property

We love Strawberry for its close to proximity to SO many hiking trails and nature preserves but mainly because of Fossil Creek. We also love the small town vibe without the lack of things to do!

What makes this property unique

Large deck, gorgeous views from all windows, cul-de-sac lot, quiet and close to a fishing pond.
