Cozy and quiet stay

My husband and I spent a long weekend here to get some fresh air and quiet time and it hit spot! The cabin was clean and cozy, we had excellent bird and deer watching out the windows, and the access to the trail made for a great long walk to Union Dale. Property was exactly as expected and the owners were responsive and helpful. Would stay again!

Cabin near Elk Man &Union Dale

Comfortable, clean cabin overlooking nice yard on 20 acres. We were looking for a quiet place near a bike trail that had room for us to wander with our dog off leash. The home is well-maintained, clean and very quiet. We stayed in the fall and used the home as a base explore the area. It is a rural, quiet area with limited shopping, restaurants, etc. Beautiful roads and trails to use for viewing fall foliage. There is an excellent grocery store within 10 mi drive. It is a terrific spot for anyone interested in biking the D & H Trail. We had a very nice stay, and would recommend the property to others.

Wonderful getaway in the woods

This cabin was just what we were looking for! Beautiful views, lots and LOTS of space to run around, easy access to trails and so peaceful. We took the advice of the guide and visited Chet’s Place for dinner and visited the nearby lake. Both were great. My family and I had the most wonderful time and would love to return! 10/10 - would recommend!

Great Place for a Ski Weekend

This was my family’s second stay here and we’ve been happy each time. You can’t beat the cabin vibes with the great wood burning stove and the all wood interior. About 10 minutes from Elk. Restaurants in the area are decent, but don’t expect fancy. You’re in the mountains. Jia is incredibly responsive and a great host. We’re looking forward to next year already!

Visited family in area for Thanksgiving and hunting!!

The cabin was perfectly described! We were pleased with plenty of dry firewood and a small cozy woodstove! The kitchen was well stocked with the basics! Dishwasher worked great! Spacious area outside for our 4 year old to run around in! The stairs to the upper level were very steep but we knew about them before we rented! We have stayed at different homes each time we visit and this cabin was one of my favorites!!

Exactly as Advertised.

Nice place to stay very close to Elk Mountain. There are some decent bar/restaurants within 10-15 minute drives. Locals were super friendly. The house is well stocked with necessities, especially the kitchen. After a long day on the mountain, the warm fire will have you sound asleep in no time. The driveway and entryways can get pretty muddy during the day when the ground thaws a bit. It’s to be expected for a mountain house but don’t want anyone pulling in and messing up their fancy shoes. Host were very responsive by chat. We would definitely stay again.

Cozy and isolated cabin, 10 min drive from Elk Mountain

The cabin was perfect for the five of us: It is very close to Elk Mountain, and its surroundings are farm lands. The inside is cozy and very clean but the floor of the second-floor bedrooms creaks a lot. It would be challenging for a group of people with different schedules. Because we cooked all our meals, we found the kitchen lacking in plates, silverware, bowls, and other essentials such as a cheese grater and a good chef knife. The beauty of the place made up for it, though!

Great experience

The cabin was clean and cozy. The woodstove heats the entire house and there is plenty of wood in the garage. Unfortunately, there was no snow on the ground. The hike out the back of the property found the D and H trail as we had thought about bringing our snowmobiles to the area. Glad we didn't. Although getting from the cabin to the D and H trail would have proved a task as numerous trees blocked the path. Probably would have used the roadway. We enjoyed the fire pit and the closeness to Elk Mountain. A seven-minute ride and during the week, no crowds. We took my 3 year old grandson on his first ski trail and he loved it. That made it all worth it. Highly recommend for a small family (we were 4 adults, 2 small children).

Nice but a little misleading

Might I say we completely enjoyed our stay. However, the house was advertised as being air conditioned. Only the upstairs bedrooms were air conditioned. It was miserable down stairs in July heat. The property is billed as being on twenty one acres which makes on think it might be tucked back from the road. That was not the case. The deck is not suitable for young children and really needs to be replaced asap as the railing is loose and the steps are crumbling. All that being said, the house was amazing. The stars were incredible and the house was very well stocked. I know the new owners have not had the property for too long so I am sure they are working on renovations. We would absolutely stay here again with or without renovations. I just want future visitors to be aware of our concerns.

Perfect cabin to get away from it all!

My family and I stayed at Jia's cabin oner the 4th of July weekend and loved every minute of it! The cabin is nicely decorated and cozy. Check in was smooth and the cabin was very clean. One thing to keep in mind if you are traveling with anyone with knee issues or elderly, is that the stair case is very steep to get to the 2 upstairs bedrooms. My 73 year old mother-in-law didn't have any issues, but I worried each time she went up/down. The property is serene, only wished the walking trails were mowed but the natural setting was very peaceful. Bring your own camp chairs if you want to enjoy using the fire ring, which I highly recommend as a wonderful, relaxing way to end the night. As a bonus, the owner provides lots of fire wood! A well stocked convenience store is only 10 min away. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of linens and towels. There are window units to cool off the 2nd floor bedrooms, but unfortunately no A/C downstairs which made thing a little too warm for the 'master' bedroom. We weren't able to located a trash bin to use in the kitchen, which was a little odd, but not a major inconvenience. The host was absolutely a pleasure to work with and went out of their way to help us when we lost our drone in the front field. Thank you again Jia for trying to help!!! My family and I would definitely stay here again for another mountain getaway!

We lived in Switzerland for (6) years, during that time we were able to travel a lot by train through western Europe. After a brief time in Singapore we moved to Florida, where we currently live.

We love this property because of the rustic and cozy feel along with the beautiful mountain view. It’s the country getaway that we were looking for. We hope you'll enjoy this piece of paradise as much as we have
