Wonderful, clean and cozy. Provided everything we needed. The view was amazing. We wished the weather was warmer so we could sit on the front deck and enjoy the view more. Overall, a great experience, thank you!

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.

Short Getaway
Small but nice layout so it felt spacious. Full kitchen which is always important to me. (No dishwasher if that matters to you..it didn’t to us). Clean and no scented candles or fake scents which give me headaches. Lots of windows to enjoy the beautiful view. Bright and clean and quick communication with the hosts. A delightful couple of days.

My wife and I have stayed here 6 or so times in the past 3 years. We absolutely love the quiet location that is just a couple minutes from town, the spotlessly clean house inside and out, the high quality bed and linens, and all the personal touches Libby does to make it stay awesome. Highly recommend!!

A Great Stay
Let’s start with a list of all things we disliked about this property. Now that we got that out of the way, let’s move on to the things that were great: - Location. The property was quiet and out of the way, but easy to find, and within walking distance of Stevenson. The town has a market, a couple of nice places to eat, and some historical markers to take in, along with great windsurfing opportunities for those into the sport. The scenery at and leading to the property was beautiful, even in dreary fall weather. - Cleanliness. The cabin and property were immaculately clean throughout. - Layout. The cabin was cozy and well-furnished. It was clear the owners put effort into anticipating visitors’ needs. To that end, there were handy laminated instructions to help explain the Roku TV, the heater, etc. Furnishings. The bed, couch, fridge, stove, microwave, Keurig machine, etc were all in great shape and in good working order. We also had a nice welcome bucket waiting for us, with snacks and a coupon for a beer tasting in nearby Carson which was well worth the quick drive. We would absolutely stay here again, and we encourage anyone considering it to book now. Overall a great value and a relaxing stay.

Beautiful & Cozy Spot
Libby & Craig are kind and professional. The cabin is adorable, modern on the inside, and the place is quiet with a pretty view of the mountains. I enjoyed drinking my coffee and my wine on the front porch. I slept so well, and I haven't slept that good in a long time. Bed was comfy, bathroom was clean and completely functional, and I'm so happy that they had a Keurig because I'm such a coffee person! We utilized the kitchen and thoroughly cleaned up. Greeted by a care bowl of snacks and a card at check-in - so sweet. We enjoyed eating at Big River Grill in the little town; seriously, the kindest and most welcoming and hospitable people at that local restaurant (delicious food!). The drive and views throughout Stevenson are breathtaking. The wedding we attended was at Wind Mountain Ranch (Gorge-ous weddings). Overall, a great trip, our first time out west. Phenomenal place to stay. Libby notified us a week in advance of a county-wide scheduled power outage that took place the night before we left, after the wedding. We were asleep the entire time it happened, so we were fine. Libby & Craig provided us with an LED lamp, and I was lucky to run into Craig and meet him when I took a morning walk about the property. I'm saving their cabin to possibly stay again in the future because my husband and I are planning a road trip next year to visit South Dakota, Montana, Colorado, and yes, Washington state! Comfy and cozy stay; attentive owners. Highly recommend.
