The experience
Step inside and you feel the difference immediately: West and North African design woven through every room, from the Moroccan-inspired bedroom with its warm tones and floor pillows to the open living space anchored by the wood stove and the soaring A-frame ceiling.
Outside is where The Sparrow spreads its wings. The wraparound deck holds the hot tub, fire table and grill. Out front, a hanging swing and Adirondack chairs gather round a stone, wood-burning fire pit with mountain views across the valley, and a hammock hangs nearby for those who would rather do nothing at all.

“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.”
“We went for our first of many Christmas vacations! We absolutely LOVED IT! We actually stayed in the house more than we originally planned because we were in awe of the surroundings. Beautiful A-frame home and beautiful surroundings. Even the kids had a blast!”
“I recently had the pleasure of staying at "The Sparrow", and I can't express enough how wonderful my experience was. From the moment I arrived, I felt like I had found a true feeling of luxury and tranquility. The attention to detail in this space is truly remarkable. Every corner of the property was immaculately clean and uniquely decorated, creating a stylish and beautiful ambiance. Morry's thoughtfulness was evident in every little touch, from the record player in the living room to the bath towels for the hot tub/shower. The comfort of the accommodation was exceptional. The main bed on the loft was so comfortable, and I appreciated the first-level bedroom that I used for meditation. The spacious living area was perfect for relaxing with my partner. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience and we can't wait to stay here again.”
Before you book
- Getting here is a mountain drive
- The cabins sit up a maintained gravel mountain road, and it is part of what keeps the views to yourselves. Four-wheel drive or all-wheel drive is strongly recommended. We clear the road after snow. Not sure about your car? Just ask; we answer this one all the time.
- There is one outdoor camera
- One exterior camera on a tree at the front of the cabin, covering the driveway directly in front of the cabin. There are no cameras inside the cabin, and none in or facing the hot tub, the decks or any private outdoor space. The full terms are in the rental agreement.
