This cabin was perfect for our family traveling with 3 young kids. The location was great! A nice, quiet neighborhood and only 10-minute short drive to ‘town.’ The cabin was immaculately clean, hot tub was super convenient, gas grill easy to operate and cookout during our trip. The homeowner was incredibly friendly, easy to contact, and communicated as needed. Our family was grateful to escape 100 deg temps of Texas to this cool, serene, comfortable getaway. Highly recommend and hope to return!

Smokey's Den was just what we needed for a few days hitting the slopes in Kirkwood. Only a few small things that could be improved. 5 stars! Pros: Hot tub is well kept up: clean, heats properly, working jets, etc. Multiple bathrooms with good heat and water pressure. Furniture is reasonably comfy. Close to both Heavenly and Kirkwood. Cons: Kitchen gadgets are a little old/not great -- coffee maker clogged, toaster toasts unevenly/sets off the fire alarm. The lighting was a little funky -- no switch for the den table, stairwell light had to be on for the bathroom light to work.

We needed extra space for a family gathering over the New Year holiday and Kendra's place worked out perfectly. It was cozy, comfortable, and convenient. The location is great; quiet, woodsy, nearby hiking trails, and a short drive to restaurants, shops, and breweries. Thanks, Kendra!
