i originally booked a different airbnb that ended up being a nightmare! stayed one night, immediately canceled it the next morning & found jesse's cabin- night sky escape. walked in to jesse's cabin & was so relieved that the cabin was clean & safe! stayed for 3 weeks, it had everything we need to live comparably. loved taking daily walks through the beautiful community. the hills were a great workout! neighbors are friendly, peaceful area & very safe. great location short drive to shops, ski resort, lake & restaurants without being in a heavily populated tourist area. very responsive host, checked in frequently to see if we needed anything. HIGHLY recommend this cabin, already sent the link to friends and family. will definitely be back again.

We stayed with a group of 10 (3 babies, 7 adults) and the house comfortably fit everyone. Rooms were spacious and comfortable. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the home. Being new construction, it felt fresh and modern rather than dated. Towels were plentiful, and we appreciated the baby seats in the kitchen, a nice touch for families. The host was extremely responsive, which made things easy given the spotty cell reception in the area. He was quick to respond when we alerted him about bears on the property, which was reassuring. WiFi worked well inside, though it got choppy at the firepit, which was fine since we were happy to disconnect. The firepit was a highlight, especially with clear starry skies. Funny moment: taking out the trash, we ran into neighbors who were just as lost as us. Minor tip: the dump is a bit of a drive from the community gate, so multiple car trips make it easier. Thanks Jesse, would book again
