Secluded cabin close to hiking
We enjoyed our peaceful, secluded stay at the Ponderosa. The house had everything we needed. The hot tub was great after a day of hiking and we loved seeing the deer in the fields everyday. The host let us know the cabin was ready early for checkin and provided contact info if we needed anything additional (which we didnt). The contactless checkin process was simple and the directions to the property were accurate. There was another house that shared the same driveway, but we did not encounter any other cars on the long driveway during our stay.

Very nice cabin, great host!
My daughter and her new husband stayed at the cabin as a short honeymoon getaway. The first morning of their stay the electric was off in the area but the host was extremely helpful. She definitely made up for it. We would definitely stay again.

Such a find!
We certainly enjoyed the quiet cabin and perfect hosts, but the bonus for us was the open field where our dog could run free. He LOVED it and I loved watching him! Also, Patrick made a special trip to replenish our coffee supply, a must-have in our morning routine! Thank you Patrick and Hannah for. your excellent customer service!

Our stay
Really enjoyed the privacy. Close to the things we wanted to do..
Would suggest.. new mattress, water pressure in shower, and we couldn't the water in the hot tub to heat past 80.. maybe a new frying pan..
Over all. We'd stay again!!
