Great Winter Family Get Away

We thoroughly enjoyed our little winter get away in Sun Valley. Downhill skied, cross country skied, went sledding, dog park adventure and sitting in the hot springs!! The cabin was a great base camp!! Can’t wait to come back again!!

Great place

Spouse and I took our first 2 week vacation in years and could not have found a better place to stay. While "small", it was the perfect size for the two of us and our dog. Great place to return to after snowshoeing or great place to just sit and read a book. Would definitely stay here again, and in a different season.

Peaceful

We had a wonderful time! The property was fun to explore. The cabin was a perfect size and we loved using the wood stove to warm up. They had a very well stocked kitchen. Usually there’s always something missing, like a can opener, but they had everything that you would need. You won’t regret renting this home.

Perfect Secluded get away close to adventure

This place was fantastic. The perfect combination of rustic seclusion with nice creature comforts. All appliances, furniture, kitchen supplies, etc were all top notch. Service or having fires set and ready to go was great.Exceeded our expectations.One piece of advice for other travelers - you drive down about 3 miles of dirt road to reach cabin. It is well maintained but there are many potholes and therefore I would encourage you to arrive before dark. We arrived after dark on our first night and got surprised by a few of them!We saw a heard of Elk each day which was very cool. Again, highly recommend this property.

My stay could not have been better

We found the cabin exceed all of the (already high) expectations we got from the VRBO listing. On one hand, the back wall of the cabin looks out directly into the forest -- you can sit on the couch and peer into the endless trees for hours. Foxes and elk occasionally roam by your front porch! On the other hand, the kitchen is one of the most modern ones I have seen! I loved the wooden cabinets, and some day would love to own one just like that. Finally, I appreciated all the natural cleaning products that Gabriela stocked the cabin with. I apologize for a rambling review, but there are too many great things to say about the cabin. I cannot wait to be back. Gabriela is a fantastic host and always responded to all questions promptly.

Very nice. However, it was short on toilet paper, tissue paper, and paper towels. Very minimal supplies. As nice as this place is, one goes away feeling we were pinched. Now, is this really worth it? Please, provide the adequate supplies that are expected. We all love 130 Sandy Lane! So why spoil anyone's experience, simply to save a penny?

Great little cabin nestled in the woods

My husband was a little hesitant after driving 6 miles on a dirt road into the woods, but that quickly disappeared after he saw how wonderful this little cabin and the quiet location was! So much better than staying in town. Our dog loved exploring in the woods and catching her ball in the front yard. Gabriela thought of everything - even a box fan for those of us who need noise to sleep! I highly recommend this cozy rustic cabin if you enjoy peace and quiet.

Beautiful, relaxing place to stay

This property was exactly what we needed. It was private, with some neighbors nearby, but no one within view. The creek sound is really nice. It stays really cool because the spot does not get a lot of sun, which is great for this time of year in the summer. It was very cozy. It had more amenities than anywhere I have stayed, as far as kitchen items, bathroom items, and whatever else you might need. I would stay again anytime.

Birthday Getaway

My boyfriend and our two small dogs enjoyed everything about our Fall weekend stay. It was the perfect 41st birthday celebration getaway. The cabin was incredibly welcoming for both us and the pups (complete with dog bowls, spare leashes, and even puppy treats). We cooked breakfasts and dinner in the well-stocked kitchen and enjoyed our meals in the window surrounded nook. We made coffee and visited the hot springs RIGHT down the road early one morning before breakfast. We sat on the deck at sunset with a fire crackling in the chiminea then moved inside to the wood burning stove and played a few round of darts before watching a movie. The bed was incredibly comfy (tho we baked the first night not realizing the heater UNDER the bed was on lol) and the rain shower head in the bathroom is such a lovely touch. We loved the fact that it felt so private yet not completely remote. I could go on and on... It honestly could not have been more perfect.

Best little cabin

Loved every minute of our stay. So many little touches added to the enjoyment. You feel like they have thought of everything from having the fireplaces ready to just light a match to fresh coffee beans ready to grind. Also, they had dog bowls, dog bed, and snacks that confirmed to us that our dog was very welcome there. Beautiful time of year to visit....great fall colors :) Thank you!
