2-4 Bedroom Private romantic mountain retreat on 6 acres in Woodland Valley,

Anne and David obviously put a lot of care into their cabin's decor and upkeep. Very clean, spacious, lovely. Well stocked with firewood. Great fireplace (and there is actually a second one.) And the setting is spectacular. Great views, quiet and secluded. Our power went out one morning (it was restored in less than an hour--a regional outage), but I phoned David just to be prepared if it happened again. He was very understanding, friendly and helpful. Same with our dealings with Anne. The weekend we stayed, it rained buckets the entire time, but my family loved our stay all the same. Our boy loved the spacious cabin, and looking out the window at the still-snowy mountains. My wife got some much needed rest. I got a very enjoyable, relaxing weekend with my family. Secluded, yet the town of Phoenicia, a 10-min drive, has everything you might want, including a fantastic brick oven pizza (Brio's), and a heavenly breakfast spot (Sweet Sue's). And my wife enjoyed visiting the spa, Emerson, a bit further down the road. Back to the cabin itself: My wife said, if it had a bathtub, it would be perfect (she is a bath person, but everything else was so right, she didn't complain). Our 3-yr-old said after we left, for the next day after: "I miss the cabin." We would recommend Anne and David's place highly, and we plan on visiting again. When it's not raining.

my girlfriend and i walked into the house on a very cold winter day a few weeks ago, and we just felt so warm immediately. yes, the heat was on, and it felt great, but there were warm, good feelings in the house. a note was left for us on the kitchen counter, giving us some details we may have wanted, was personal and friendly. the wood was neatly stacked by the fireplace, reminding us that we could just sit down and relax by a crackling fire all evening, if we wanted. the bedrooms were both so cozy and inviting, we couldn't decide which one to set our bags down in. everything was just prepared with such obvious care, it felt like we were staying at a friend's place for a few days. we honestly felt that! and that felt really, really good.
and of course, those good feelings were accompanied by such a peaceful and beautiful environment. we sat in bed at one point and tried to see if we could hear anything. we sat still for minutes. only quiet. i loved that. we like to take walks a lot, my girlfriend and i. our first few dates were walks. just exploring, and talking. the woods behind the house provided us with a wonderful walk, completed by a sweet little water fall. we could not have asked for anything else.

we can't wait to go back.

We just returned a few hours ago and I'm already checking the calendar to see when we can return. The house is very cozy and was perfect for our family of five. The children we're able to run around and we loved hiking with them right in the backyard. The views are amazing, the mountains can be seen from just about every window in the house. We fell asleep to the crackling sound of the fireplace and woke up to the soothing sound of the stream just a few feet away. David and Anne are wonderful host, and we really can not wait to return.
