Cabin 2 was lovely. Highlights were the view, hot tub, the comfortable beds and fluffy towels! The kitchen is accomodating but small, cooking parties would be snug. The outdoor decks upper and lower, provide plenty of leisure space. Photos of decor and cabin amenities are accurate. Communication with the host was responsive and clear. The cabin is close to many wineries and orchards, but we stayed local and kicked back in the 'off' season.

This cabin has the most stunning views! It was so nice to wake up and have breakfast while looking out the window and seeing the beautiful forest and the sky. The rooms were clean and tidy. I appreciate little things like having actual hand soap in the bathrooms. Thank you for a great weekend stay!
