This was a great cabin and was absolutely the cleaner cabin we have ever stayed in. The cabin is very private. The only thing we would change was to add a handheld shower in the large bathroom.

Wonderful Cabin!

We enjoyed our stay in Trails End. It was clean, the kitchen had everything we needed and the fireplace was beautiful! The location was just enough in the woods to feel secluded yet close enough to town and the park. We will definitely be staying here again!

Everything was great. Paved driveway all the way to front porch which was excellent for the motorcycle. Went out to dinner and left house keys at cabin. The host was able to quickly help us out. Would highly recommend this spot to anyone!! Very peaceful and quiet.

Quiet Stay in the Mountains

We loved our stay at Trails End. The cabin was so cozy and equipped with everything we needed. It’s far enough away from town to give you peace and serenity but not so far you can’t grab a bite to eat. There were no other cabins too close to ours so we felt secluded. Our host Cyndie was great and very attentive. We didn’t want to leave and even stayed an extra day. I highly recommend if your looking for a peaceful retreat.

Hot tub had some issues initially, but the owner responded super fast and offered solutions immediately. The community that this cabin is in was incredible, the drive to Townsend was easy and quick, the cabin itself was beautiful, very comfortable beds, and wonderfully stocked kitchen. Definitely plan to return!
