Cabin is very convenient to downtown Grand Marias. In town for a bike race and it was an easy walk to the starting line. As always, excellent communication by Cascade Vacation Rentals.

Very cute place and a nice location. It was clean and I enjoyed sitting outside when the weather was nice. I wasn't a fan of their garbage policy. If you are staying more than a couple days, storing smelly garbage in the house until you leave isn't the best option. And driving it down the road twenty minutes is no fun either. Also, I was hoping to get an early check-in, and had stopped by the place a little early, but they never responded to my message, even though the place was clean, unoccupied, and ready to go.

This cabin is a nice size for 2 people, walkable to town and has a fire pit in the back yard. The property has another home on it, so the owners may be in residence. It’s right on highway 61, truck traffic can be noisy.
