    Host Donna answered all of my questions and allowed us to check in a few hours early. We had stayed at this location before and it was just as enjoyable as the last time.Very well maintained and clean.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The host, Donna was fabulous with communication and fun to talk with! The location is off the beaten path and quiet which was wonderful. We wish we had had one more day to spend just at the cabins! We rented both the Aspen and Ponderosa! Fabulous for a larger group like ours ranging in age from 2-74! The kids loved running between the cabins and hiking up the hills. The kitchen had everything you need. There are toys, books, movies, etc. Seriously met the needs of all ages. 10/10 would definitely recommend!!! Hoping to stay again!

    There were many places to go to and do close by. Then you can get away to a quiet cabin whenever you want

    We wanted quiet, comfy, and convenient. Ray and Donna's place was perfect for us -- above and beyond our expectations. Roomy, wonderful forested view, and plenty of local geology (rocks and ridges and views), plants, and animals to enjoy! The cabin was huge.... and had everything we could possibly need ... and enjoy. Thoughtfully placed and lovingly maintained. We will definitely go back as soon as we can. Sarah & Chuck

    It’s a full large house which is extremely well furnished. The kitchen has everything down to the detail in utensils and cooking ware. The in room soaking bath was luxurious. The hot tub is big and the water is silky, well balanced Ph. We never turned the large TV on. The only stairs are a few getting into the house in front, some stairs below the hot tub deck where the grill stands, and the steps getting into the hot tub. It is a few miles of dirt road to get there but well worth the drive to absorb the deafening silence. We could hear the elk bugle and coyotes howl. The only drawback is one of personal preference; the bedrooms are very comfortable but the window coverings don’t darken the room very well. A heavier drape would work well. The blinds are fine. The proprietor is wonderful and most helpful answering questions about the house prior to making a reservation and giving us excellent directions to get there. This is a bit long but I just want to stress what a perfect place the Ponderosa is. We will definitely return.

    At this cabin it is immediately obvious that the host/hostess have thought out the needs of users. They have literally provided everything one could possibly need to enjoy a visit and not worry about where are we going to find a coffee pot, ironing board, dishwasher, washer/dryer, tv system, linens, or virtually anything else one might need. I was tremendously impressed with both the accommodations and the response from the owners when any question was raised. Bravo and I would highly recommend you stay here!!
