PETS
We love hosting your furry companions and welcome up to two dogs. Please include them in your reservation and a pet fee will automatically be included in your reservation total. Additional dogs may be considered on a case-by-case basis and are subject to additional fees to compensate for potential extra wear and tear at the property and additional cleaning regimens that we undertake. Note that emotional support animals (ESAs) are designated as pets and subject to these fees and other pet policies. Service animals are always welcome, but please let us know about them in advance so we can let our cleaning team know.

FAMILY FRIENDLY AMENITIES
We offer a pack n'play crib and full-sized freestanding highchair for families traveling with young ones.

VEHICLE REQUIREMENTS
The property is served by entirely paved roads with the exception of 50 feet of roadway and the driveway (both of which are well-packed gravel). Most of the year, 2WD vehicles can access the property without issue. However, during snow or icy conditions, 4WD or AWD may be recommended or required. We will notify you in advance if winter or severe weather is expected, offering guidance on safe access. Full refunds are typically only provided if the property is inaccessible for more than 24 hours by 4WD or AWD vehicles.

Your safety and well-being are our top priority. All bedding, including sheets, quilts, and blankets, is washed between reservations. Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are installed in all bedrooms, and fire extinguishers are available throughout the property.

The area is surrounded by wildlife - you will regularly see deer and may even sneak a peak at a black bear hanging out on the mountain. While the property rarely houses critters of its own, the occasional bug or tiny creature may make a visit! Just let us know if anything is out of the ordinary.

We offer several special occasion decorating options and other services to make your romantic getaway worry free and one of a kind. Our most popular option is our premium package that includes bubbly, fresh flowers, balloons, and decor for $320.

Great house for a winery weekend getaway

This is a great house right in the middle of winery country. Checkin was a breeze. The owner provided the pertinent information well ahead of our arrival. The house is beautifully kept with many amenities. We took advantage of the hot tub after a day of traveling to several local wineries. We will definitely plan to come back in the spring or summer months to check out the beautiful views from atop the mountain.

Perfect cabin for a get away

This cabin was great for our weekend get away near to the valley's wine country. Everything is modern, comfortable, and available-- there is no roughing it.Almost everything is well labeled so you know where to find whatever you're looking for. The kitchen is well stocked with equipment, which is good because there's not many places to eat in the immediate area. We found everything to be clean and in working order. Nice view of the hills off the back porch. Would definitely stay again. Make sure your first time getting to the house is during day light-- The road up the mountain winds and turns and is not well lit. It's easy after the first time haha, but worth getting to know wen you can clearly see it.

Peaceful property, nice sunrise views, clean and very accommodating!

We took a few days to stay at this little slice of heaven in the mountains which was easily accessible but yet offered enough privacy to feel secluded.

Unplugged Mountain Getaway

Everything we could need or want was there for us. The Cabin was clean, welcoming and was comfoetable. We spent many hours on the screened in porch playing cards, at the main floor dining table with a puzzle and sunsets in the hot tub. Would come back again for sure!

Great retreat

The kitchen was awesome and the big screen in the basement made for some epic movie nights. The flooring on the main level was a little hazardous as some pieces stabbed in our shoes but I would highly recommend this home! AMAZING VIEWS

Simply Wonderful

All you need to bring are cloths and groceries. All the amenities provided were fantastic, with a well stocked kitchen for cooking. The cabin was superbly clean and well organized with all remotes, cabinets, and drawers clearly labeled, the bedding, linens, and pillows were of nice quality. An online guidebook tells you everything you need to know including local places to eat or grab groceries once checked in. The hot tub provided a wonderful way to relax and enjoy the view or stars, was very clean and well maintained. The customer service was prompt and gracious. In addition, we really loved how the cabin was decorated for Christmas with beautiful lighted garland inside and out. The area is quiet, peaceful and the cabin a warm and cozy place to spend time and unwind. It was even better than the pictures!

Beautiful cabin with a view. Beyond our expectations.

I know this is a long review and this is the first time I have reviewed a rental but I was so impressed. Peaceful, surprisingly roomy, loved there are so many areas to relax in small groups. We like to gather together and there is room for that ,but sometimes it is so nice to split in groups. You could sit in the beautiful screen porch, living room, loft, awesome downstairs with plenty of seating, beautiful lighted fireplace was a hit, giant tv, for the younger set to game or watch movies, then the hot tub with a nice view. Our host Matt was amazing when I texted him he would get back quickly and was so accomodating. So much care was taken in putting this cabin together to make your stay comfortable. My grandaughter is in culinary school and I am quite the chef. Because of the discription of the kichen we planned our meals packed our food and crossed our fingers it was really true.We had 3 generations cooking together in the lovely kitchen with awesome high quality pans etc. I cant even list them all. We loved the glass trays we used for charcuterie and nice dinnerware set for meals. If I knew there was a vitamix there I would have done some planning and used it.. We are big coffee people. they have a coffee press, k cup, and a drip maker there. Kitchenaid mixer. Nice set of wineglsses. great bbq. All the beds were very very comfortable. Everyone said they loved their bed and slept so good. I would stay again when I am in the area and hightly reccomend
