Magical Holiday

The most magical holiday. It was like something out of a Hallmark movie. The cabin was perfect, very rustic but with all the modern necessities. It snowed almost everyday, but not enough to make it impossible to explore the beautiful area. It has inspired us to look for the exact same setting to call our very own. Can never thank Lori enough for sharing their wonderful cabin and giving us the opportunity slow down and enjoy my family.

My husband and I scheduled a weekend getaway for our anniversary! We were so incredibly happy to be remote in this beautiful secluded cabin! We enjoyed being able to wake up the the steady stream! Very relaxing! We didn’t use much of the house, as we went out to the sweet town of Monterey for dinner and cooked breakfast and lunch on our blackstone outside by the stream. Would highly recommend to anyone interested! Where we came from, it was a super easy drive (and I hate to drive in the mountains lol)! Not very much to do if the weather is bad- thankfully we had perfect weather and spent most of our time outside! You’ll be glad you booked your stay here!

No, that's not a typo in the title . . . it was so peaceful! Normally, rainy days don't add up to a good vacation . . . but this location is the exception . . . the sound of rain on the metal roof and the rushing creek, awww, heaven! We did have a couple of days to get out & explore . . . loved Sugar Tree Country Store, Falling Spring Falls, downtown Monterey, & more! The cabin has a rustic feeling and is absolutely awesome . . . well stocked, super comfy beds, amazing shower, the covered porch facing the creek . . . just wished we would have had a chance to enjoy the firepit & more of the outdoor amenities, but we don't have any control over the weather! Will definitely stay here again!

We could not have asked for a better stay at Clearwater Cabin! It had mostly everything we could need and more. The property is beautiful and private with trout stream running along side it. We will most certainly return for a visit in the warmer months!
