    Attractive and modern accommodations, very clean with all the amenities you would need for a weekend get-away. Since I struggle with back pain, the apex for me was the water therapy in the jacuzzi tub on the deck. The heat and jets were instrumental in my pain relief. I appreciate the fact that the owners invested in a quality product. I highly recommend this cabin, it was a positive experience, two thumbs up.

    We enjoyed our stay. It was very relaxing. We felt like we really did get away, but we were still close to town if we needed anything. I think this was the most comfortable bed I've ever slept on at a VRBO rental. My only complaint would be the couch--I think it's time to replace it because it was not the most comfortable to sit on. Even with that, I'm still giving this 5 stars. We are already talking about coming back. The place was clean and cozy. Well stocked kitchen for all your cooking needs. We didn't use the hot tub due to the weather. I would recommend!

    This place was perfect for my boyfriend and I for a long weekend. It is close to town yet far enough away to be quiet. The hot tub was so relaxing and we even saw some deer out in the woods behind the cabin. It was cozy and we definitely plan on coming back in the future. Highly recommend!

    The cabin was perfect! Has all the amenities you need!! The decor was fabulous! It definitely is a cabin in the woods. It was a very peaceful getaway. Which is what I wanted. Hiking trail right in the back of the property. Giant city state park is close by with lots of hiking trails. So I hiked during the day and sat in the hot tub. It was a perfect ending to the day. Plenty of firewood to have a fire in the evening too. Saw a deer in back of the cabin and I haven’t seen so many stars in a long time. All and all if you need to escape and just get away this is a wonderful place to do just that!

    The cabin was beautiful, the surrounding area was gorgeous, and the hot tub is amazing. Everything was perfect until I realized that I personally made a scheduling mistake. Our rental ended a night sooner than I thought I had booked, it was my mistake. So I called Allison to tell her we would be leaving asap apologizing for the mistake. She was extremely kind and accommodating. Because no one was staying the next night, she asked if we would like to continue our stay for a very fair price and we very happily accepted. Our anxiety about having to leave asap was totally relieved and we were able to spend another beautiful night at our cabin. This was a perfect way to end our wedding week and I highly recommend to couples or small families. Thank you Allison!

    Everything was *muwah* (chef’s kiss)! Beautifully appointed, sparkling clean, and in tiptop shape. Not sure what I loved more…that salt spa hot tub, the cozy reading nook, or the peace and quiet that surrounded us all weekend. I almost hated to leave, but we were technically in town to see friends and do some hiking. Fortunately, everything was a quick drive. We saw the trailhead by the cabin too late to go exploring. Next time!

    Tulipwood Cabin is a well appointed cabin in a convenient location for hiking, wineries, and grocery shopping. We enjoyed sitting around a fire every evening and soaking up the peace and serenity. Allison, the property manager, provides a wealth of information for local attractions, restaurants, and various other interests. We are already talking about our next trip to Tulipwood.

We hiked and then relaxed in the hot tub, we drank warm tea and played scrabble, and made a fantastic dinner and ate near the fireplace. We felt calm and content surrounded by nature.
