Fun private getaway for family
The cabin was a lovely reprieve from setting up and breaking down a tent. One kid slept on the floor, the other in the loft, and our dog had his dog bed, and the space fit all of us snuggly. The windows and small overhead fan helped keep the temperature comfortable. There was also an overhead light which was a great bonus.
The coyotes and a barking dog woke us up at night, but it felt safer in a cabin than a tent.
The property is large. We were able to play baseball and frisbee in the fields and it felt private. They had 3 cows (mom, dad, baby), which were fun to watch. Look out for cow patties! Our dog also loved watching the cows while giving them space.
Sarah was away for the weekend but communicated quickly via the app. Her sister Hannah was an excellent host. We loved meeting her, her kids, and dogs. She made us feel right at home, and also suggested great activities. We visited Ekone park, Horsethief Butte, and saw the Solar show at the Observatory.
I will say that 2 things could be improved to make it an even better stay. The port a potty is too far away, especially at nighttime. Moreover, I highly recommend a composting toilet for a nicer outdoor feel.
Second, the area around the cabin could be so much nicer and safer if the large rocks were repositioned into a path, or at least moved away from the cabin entrance so you don't automatically trip over them.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay and kids loved it! It made for an excellent camping weekend.
