This property was wonderful, the view is amazing, the house is a perfect size for a couples getaway. The hot tub was hot and clean, the area was perfect for a quiet trip! The host was easy to work with, gaining entry was easy and simple. We couldn't recommend this cabin enough, perfect size and set up. Just the space we needed! We ate at the Steak Inn, it was worth it, the best steak I have ever had.

Every single detail was beautiful. The color scheme, decor, textures had an elegant and luxurious feel with fun sprinkled in. The binder of tips took the guesswork out of where to eat and what to do. The guestbook was a special addition - I loved reading the entries. Every morning, the shades around the bed came up and we watched the sunrise from under the cozy and soft covers. The location was incredible. On the last day, we drove to the dock across the way just to take a picture of the placement of the home among the cliffs. The soap smelled amazing and in doing some research (to buy it for home) found that its also an incredible company that provides soap and hygiene classes to those in need all around the world. We love to see it. The wide array of games and hang out options in the property itself made us feel like we could've stayed in all day. The hottub was the perfect combination of cozy and private, but we were able to see the sky and stars. The neighbor's dog popped over for a quick visit one morning. He was so sweet and polite - definitely a delightful surprise for two avid dog lovers. We cannot wait to come back.

Cliffhanger Cottage is beyond cool! It was extremely clean, the view was amazing, the hot tub awesome. We simply could not be happier with our stay. The cottage is very small and cozy. There were so many little welcoming, oftentimes funny, touches. The Cottage is one minute from a grocery store and 2 or 3 minutes from a number of great restaurants. We suggest Casa Maya. Our getaway was made extra special by this little cottage and Shon and Trish. Do not hesitate! Grab that loved one and get to this little slice of heaven.

What a Wonderful Time!!!

After a year of several many doctor's appointments and hospital stays (Alexis - 7!), we were due for a get-away and God blessed us with the perfect place! We made reservations months in advance to celebrate our first wedding Anniversary, and we were not disappointed in the least - right down to the very last detail, we felt pampered by our host's attention to anything a guest might want or need. (This anniversary was truly special, as we were both widows, celebrating love again in this season of our lives.) The Cottage was clean, clean, clean! Oh my gosh!!! The bed was amazingly comfortable!!! The views were magnificent!! The hot tub was delicious :)) We've decided that this Cottage will be the place that we'll celebrate our Anniversary for all the years to come!!! Thank you to our hosts, Trish and Shon, for contributing to a truly memorable time!!!
