Perfect location with Strawberry Creek running through the backyard. Kids adventured in it, and we took the path up to the brewpub for lunch one day. The space was lovely with plenty of seating inside and out, and great views from kitchen and one bedroom. Blankets provided were a nice touch. However, the entire place was super dark! We had to use flashlights a few times. Beds were uncomfortable, seemingly nice at first but sank after a while. A pervasive smoky smell stayed in the house through our entire stay. No Adventure Pass or can opener provided. We would still book this house again. The location is just superb.

Wonderful, scenic mountain cabin, authentic, private and charming; thoughtfully appointed and provisioned. We will definitely book it again.
3 days of nearby demolition & construction noise during our stay was unfortunate timing; it impacted the otherwise perfectly peaceful setting.

This is our second stay at Hidden Heaven and it did not disappoint! We love the cabin we love the location. We love to cross the bridge and walk up to town. We love the pictures in the cabin and the furniture. We love the deck, the bird feeding stations, we just love everything about it! We will be back again!
