Great, peaceful location

We had such a nice time staying in this cabin. Beautiful hikes are short drives away, and we had fun checking out local brewpubs -- I especially recommend Backwoods Brewing. The cabin had everything we needed. Thanks, Libby! We're already looking forward to coming again next year.

Loved our stay

This little cabin was perfect for our little getaway! We loved the peaceful setting! Everything was very clean and lovely. Stevenson is minutes away and has a nice grocery store and local restaurants. Great hiking close by - Beacon Rock, Falls Creek Falls, and Wahclella Falls were some we really enjoyed. Being greeted by a thank you note and snacks was a nice touch. One of our favorite VRBOs we've stayed at for sure! Thank you for a great stay!

Had a nice stay!

Loved the king size bed and air conditioner! Has everything you need for a very comfortable stay. I would say you need a car to get to the cute, well equipped downtown area. Utilized the deck a ton and enjoyed the deer, turkey, and plethora of other wildlife. Would not be good for work as the internet wasn't super strong and would drop out occasionally, not terrible, just had to log back in.

As advertised, nice 400-square foot cabin, with separate bedroom, bathroom and living space. Full kitchen amenities, nicely appointed decor. Very clean cabin with a thoughtful welcome basket. Nice porch with a view of the Columbia River. Would definitely return!

Nice location

The place was cute and very clean the owners were really nice and left a goodie bowl which was sweet. The only bummers were it has an extremely small water heater. They suggest one short shower per hour. Which is a bummer when you're trying to get somewhere. Also the sheets were like sandpaper and the pillows were huge and very heavy and uncomfortable. The bed was comfortable though. If they could correct these couple things it's a gem.

Comfortable and Convenient!

We stayed here while completing a little weekend fieldwork in a nearby forest. The property was easy to find and all of the communication with the hosts was very clear. The property itself is very comfortable and had everything we needed. Fully stocked kitchen, smart TV, very comfy bed after a long day of hiking, and the hosts had extra snacks waiting. My only complaint was that the hot water heater is tiny! We were warned ahead of time so it didn't come as a surprise, and I'm sure it's a necessary evil with the size of the cabin. Overall a great place, and I'd love to stay here again the next time I'm working in the area.

This was a great place to stay! Cozy, clean and quiet. Everything was real easy to find and figure out. The weather wasnt the best while I was there, so extra grateful for the beautiful view and comfortable lodgings. I highly recommend. It is conveniently located to many hiking trails. The Columbia River gorge is just so stunning.
