The experience
Three cabins, three different weekends.
Same hillside, same private hot tubs, entirely different reasons to come. Here is what each one is actually like.
A whole loft that keeps everyone up too late.
Upstairs is a room built for playing. A Polycade arcade cabinet, air hockey and a Board console — a 24-inch touchscreen that plays with real pieces — sit under a 6 × 7 ft window full of trees, with an egg chair in the corner for whoever taps out first. Downstairs the kitchen island, the 75-inch 4K TV and the karaoke machine keep the evening going.
- Polycade arcade cabinet and air hockey
- Board console: a 24-inch touchscreen that plays with real pieces
- Egg chair beside the 6 × 7 ft picture window
- Karaoke machine, PlayStation 5 and a record player
- Six-person hot tub and propane fire table on the covered deck
A deck at the top of the hill, with the whole valley in front of it.
At the top of the property there is a platform with a swinging bench and a propane fire bowl, and above it the darkest sky on the hill. Back down at the cabin a 7 × 6 ft window sits directly behind the king bed, and the shower looks out through a seven-foot pane of glass into the woods.
- Elevated observation deck with a swinging bench and propane fire bowl
- King bed facing a 7 × 6 ft forest window
- Walk-in shower behind a seven-foot glass wall
- Private hot tub and propane fire table on the deck
- PlayStation 5, and a pizza oven for nights you would rather not drive
An A-frame you will want the doors open in.
A wall of glass under a cathedral ceiling, a wood stove at the centre of the room, and a wraparound deck that turns the whole cabin indoor-outdoor the moment the weather allows. Out front, a hanging swing and Adirondack chairs sit round a stone, wood-burning fire pit with the valley across the horizon, and a hammock hangs in the trees nearby.
- True A-frame with cathedral ceilings and floor-to-ceiling glass
- Wood-burning stove at the centre of the living space
- Wraparound deck with a five-person hot tub and gas fire table
- Stone wood-burning fire pit out front, with a hanging swing and mountain views
- Two-person hammock in the trees, and a PlayStation 5 for the rain
At every cabin
What you get whichever one you choose.
A private hot tub at every cabin
On your own deck, never shared and never on a schedule. Forest at The Sparrow and The Stag, the valley at The Turtle.
PlayStation 5 in all three
Loaded and ready in all three living rooms, for the rainy afternoon that every mountain trip eventually has.
Movie nights, set up and ready
4K screens with streaming in every cabin — 65-inch at The Turtle and The Sparrow, 75-inch at The Stag, plus a 55-inch in its main-level bedroom.
Starlink, fast enough to work on
Satellite internet at every cabin, averaging around 180 Mbps. The Sparrow also has a desk, a computer and a printer in the loft.
Something burning outside, whatever the weather
A propane fire table on every deck, fire pits out front at The Sparrow and The Stag, and a propane fire bowl on The Turtle's observation deck.
Your dog is welcome
Up to two pets per cabin for a one-time cleaning fee, with the whole hillside to walk and the river ten minutes away.

“The space is lovely and thoughtfully designed and very well maintained.”
“The experience completely exceeded my expectations. The accommodation had absolutely everything you need, and every detail was designed to make the stay comfortable and special. I was pleasantly surprised to find such a complete, well-maintained and cozy space. The host was exceptional: always attentive, quick to respond to every question, and he gave us clear and very helpful directions before and during our stay. You can tell when someone really cares about providing a good experience. Definitely a place I'd go back to and recommend without thinking.”
