Kim is a great host. She was always available and responded quickly. The home was great, welcoming and cozy. It's a great place to get back to after a day of rafting and hiking.

We had a great time at Kim’s. The cabin was cozy, well appointed, and peaceful. It was a great location - private but close to the highway and only a few minutes to a golf course. The claw-footed tub was the main attraction for me, and the sunsets were breathtaking. Would highly recommend, and would stay again.

Place was great, peaceful at times of the day and night! Sunrises and sunsets over the mountains in view from the porch was the perfect way to enjoy the beginning and end of the day. The cabin was clean, a local booklet of places for groceries, local food and things to do found….only thing would be some AC or fan in the loft area, it was in the mid-90s during our stay and just opening the windows didn’t cool the loft down until after midnight for sleeping. I would stay again and would recommend.
