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!

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.

Everything was great! The host was nice to work with - especially considering we were coming the day of a winter storm. She was easy to get in touch with, stayed in open communication and was very accommodating considering the conditions. Overall the house was very nice too! The bed was SO comfy, and the wood burning fireplace was perfect!

This cabin is absolutely awesome! Has everything you need in the kitchen. The cabin is so warm feeling, clean, and the beds and furniture so comfortable! Plus it's quiet because it sits at the end of a dead end road! The photos of the cabin in VRBO are exactly what the cabin looks like.
