The house and location were perfect. We really loved the mountain area. The pictures of the lodge definitely do not do it justice. The house was perfectly located, clean and well stocked. So comfy that you almost feel like you are home. It was truly one of the most well stocked VRBO houses that we have every rented. Brad was also an exceptional host. He accompanied every need and provided valuable information that helped make our stay great. We hope to come back again in the near future.

This property was an outstanding place to stay. It was incredibly clean, well stocked with supplies and had everything you need to cook with. We went for Easter break and the kids had so much fun in the hot tub and exploring the area. The outdoor deck does not disappoint, it is relaxing and has beautiful views. The beds were very comfortable and provide a great nights sleep. The mini split heating/cooling system was perfect for the different types of weather we had. The host was extremely responsive, helpful, gave dining recommendations. Checkin and checkout could not have been easier. We live nearby, but wanted a getaway, but be close enough to go home and take care of animals. This was perfect location for us. The water feature was calming for our son with autism to listen to. If we could rate it higher, we would.

This was the perfect cozy mountain getaway for our family. Everything about this cabin was great. The host did a great job of communicating and making sure everything was set up for us, and the cabin was very well stocked with extra linens and everything we could need. Could not have been a better time away with the family. Hope to come back in the future!

This authentic log cabin was so comfortable! The host was so accommodating and responsive to my emails. You will not long for anything here... spices, pots and pans, laundry, kitchen appliances, the best comforters on the beds, comfy pillows, TV and strong wifi. Beautiful views and a cute farmers market that serves an amazing breakfast near by. One of the best vrbo's I've stayed at! I highly recommend it!

This gem of a log cabin is not only spa-like, it is plush, cozy, and a welcoming spot for family meetups and getaways. The blankets are cozy, the towels are plush, the sheets are thick cotton, the pillow selection is great, and all amenities are there. Top-tier cooking equipment and plenty of supplies helped us feel at home. The bathrooms were beautiful and well-appointed, but the star of the show was the hot tub. We lounged there under the pines for cocktail hour and coffee/tea time! We had some great discussions on the porch, some of us using the throw blankets that were supplied and just had a beautiful time. Our host was excellent: prompt, and extremely thoughtful. Our day trip to Santa Fe on the Turquoise Trail was a breeze, but we were just as happy to come back to Cedar Crest. Grocery shopping at the Triangle Market was close and convenient.

Wonderful place! Rooms were comfy and the decor was so fun - all log cabin. Full kitchen with a wonderful dining table. The outdoor deck was to die for. We enjoyed the hot tub too a couple of times. Place was close to a small town called Cedar Crest and not far from the Balloon Fiesta area. I would recommend this place to anyone and also stay here again.

Can't beat sitting on the beautiful deck with a glass of wine enjoying the mountainside view. (Although the hot tub gave it a run for the money.)

Wonderful property. Quiet, serene, well maintained. Three guys get together for a retreat twice a year since we started with Promise Keepers in the 1990's. This property is perfect for our retreats. We have already reserved it for our Fall get together.
