The Space:
Indoors and out, this trip is sure to be one for the books. Perched atop a hillside just 5 miles outside of town, this dream cabin offers panoramic vistas of the surrounding landscape with oodles of exciting amenities to keep you busy no matter the season. Shoot a round or 2 of pool in the loft as you gaze out the large picture windows or take in the abundance of fresh air as you soak all your cares away in the outdoor hot tub. Or maybe it’s foosball on the main level that will get your heart racing as you squeeze in a game before dinner. Up for a swim? The lower-level indoor pool is the perfect retreat for exercise or a fun-filled afternoon.

Apart from the games and accessories, the interior of the cabin is also designed for relaxation and enjoying your moments of downtime in private and communal spaces alike. Stream your favorite movie on the mounted smart TV in the living room as you stretch out on the plush sofa seating. In the cooler months, the flip of a switch provides warmth and ambiance to the space courtesy of the gas fireplace. The kitchen is a chef’s dream, fully equipped with stainless steel appliances and rich cabinetry stocked with cookware and dining ware for all your culinary needs. Meal prep is made easy at the spacious island with high-top barstool seating for 3, while formal dining can be held at the table steps away with seating for 4.

Warning

My husband, brother, sister in law and I (who are all over 50) had a wonderful trip in this beautiful cabin. However, nearly two weeks after our stay we were charged for things we did not use that they said were broken in rooms we did not occupy. WARNING DO NOT STAY HERE UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE CHARGED FOR THINGS YOU DID NOT BREAK. We travel often and have never had this issue. I contacted the host/owner and didn’t get an answer as to why it took two weeks for them to claim we broke things. We are responsible adults and would have reported any property damage.

Anniversary and vacation

We came in on a Saturday with seafood we had brought from home to cook for a nice meal. We got there everything looked great we were so happy. Well we realized the refrigerator and freezer was broke. We lost all our food. $50 worth of crablegs and shrimp. Not to mention other things we brought from home. We got up with the people who were supposed to take care of it. Needless to say the whole week they did not fix it call us back or compensate us for anything!! We had planned on cooking on our trip to save money. Needless to say we had to end up eating every meal out. It cost us so much money we didn’t have extra money for anything. It made our vacation very stressful!! Do not stay here because if there is any problems they will not respond and help you with your problem!!!

Gorgeous cabin!!!

The view was amazing from the balcony! You can see the sunsets and sunrises from the hot tub, and have a gorgeous view of the mountains from any porch and bedroom. We saw three bear cubs our first day there! 10/10 would go back again, it was such a relaxing cabin

House

This house is more beautiful in person than the pictures! We got to see a family of bears every night, I guess that’s why it’s called little cub retreat. We will be back again!

Could have been better

There were things in the cabin that were repaired but not completed. Furniture really needs to be something better. Seems old and uncomfortable. Some light switches for example were one on the opposite side of the room to control the light and another switch on the opposite side of the room to control the ceiling fan of the same fixture. Hot tub leaks down to the bottom porch right by the doorway making it slick to walk on. Really weren’t enough towels etc for 4 people for 6 days. A lot of doors inside need work so they will close easier. No kind of instructions to work the fireplace or the hot tub. The pool was nice other than it really needs a handrail to hold on to to enter and get out of the pool. Very difficult getting in and out of. Because of that we didn’t really use the pool much. Overall this cabin didn’t really meet our expectations for the cost we paid.
