The beds were super comfortable and the views can't be beat. We enjoyed the hot tub nightly after being tourists during the day. We used the pool a couple times but it was a little difficult getting in and out without a railing. We saw quite a few bears during our stay. It rained while we were there and it was a beautiful sound and sight in the mountains. ##### Janine L. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Allie C.

We got there everything looked great we were so happy. Well we realized the refrigerator and freezer was broke. We lost all our food. $50 worth of crablegs and shrimp. Not to mention other things we brought from home. We got up with the people who were supposed to take care of it. Needless to say the whole week they did not fix it call us back or compensate us for anything!! We had planned on cooking on our trip to save money. Needless to say we had to end up eating every meal out. It cost us so much money we didn’t have extra money for anything. It made our vacation very stressful!! Do not stay here because if there is any problems they will not respond and help you with your problem!!! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### David B. Jun 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Could have been better There were things in the cabin that were repaired but not completed. Furniture really needs to be something better. Seems old and uncomfortable. Some light switches for example were one on the opposite side of the room to control the light and another switch on the opposite side of the room to control the ceiling fan of the same fixture. Hot tub leaks down to the bottom porch right by the doorway making it slick to walk on. Really weren’t enough towels etc for 4 people for 6 days. A lot of doors inside need work so they will close easier. No kind of instructions to work the fireplace or the hot tub. The pool was nice other than it really needs a handrail to hold on to to enter and get out of the pool. Very difficult getting in and out of. Because of that we didn’t really use the pool much. Overall this cabin didn’t really meet our expectations for the cost we paid. ##### David B. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrea V.

The cabin was in a great location and the view is breathtaking. The drive up is a bit scary at night if you miss the bypass or coming up from downtown but it’s not bad during the day. I wish I would have known the pool entrance is outside. There is no access from the house to the pool. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and communication with the property was great. We did see bears twice, once at night driving back to the cabin and the next day driving down to Anakeesta. ##### Lorena B. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul W.

I found rat droppings ##### Emma G. Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Khalida A. Aug 12, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We reserved this property for 4 days but we couldn’t even stay there for two days. We left early because there were rats and bugs, everything was very dirty. Also, there was a construction going on next to the house. The dust was everywhere and the noise was disturbing us. Nobody let us know about that before we reserved.I contacted the management for help, they said someone was going to come to check on rats and stuff but nobody ever came. I asked for a refund for the days we didn’t stay but they denied that.This was the worst vacation ever for us. ##### Khalida A. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Caitlin Y.

We got to see a family of bears every night, I guess that’s why it’s called little cub retreat. We will be back again! ##### Caitlin Y. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Monique B. Jul 25, 2025 Liked: Location Disliked: Listing accuracy We had a great time because as a family we made it work, but from the time we arrived I texted about the pool being dirty and there was mold/mildew on the walls, and around vents, which is a very very major health problem. I kept being told someone will reach out to me, but let’s just say no one ever showed up and they only communicated with me when I reached out to them. It was always we’re so sorry, we’re reaching out to them now blah blah blah. I would put the pictures up but since I’m dealing with this the legal way I will not do that. Just be aware, and check everything out before you get settled in. ##### Monique B. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Sarah Z. Oct 13, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness The location is nice. You get a view of the mountains, but also the neighborhood and street that the cabin is on. Traffic through the area is a little noisy, especially when a truck is coming up the street. Upon arriving the cabin right next to us was under construction, so we got to hear the noise of a saw and nailing. When we entered the cabin we noticed there were no blankets on any of the beds, nor were there sufficient amount of towels. We had to call the management company, who had to go to the store and get us blankets. We checked the pool. It was freezing. And it’s not heated, so you can’t use the pool in the colder months. Plus it was dirty, there was mold in the pool area, and there were grasshoppers in the pool area (window and screen were broken and open, causing that pool room to be cold. The management team had to fix the bunk bed cause it was so loose, we were afraid it would fall on our kids. Also, had to fix the fireplace cause it wasn’t lighting.Oh! There was blood on our toilet! That was a gross surprise. Plus at night a huge amount of gnats would come into the cabin, especially in the kitchen area and get all over the food. Overall it was an meh experience. The house needs work no doubt and needs to be updated. The tubs barely work (I thought for a minute the faucet wouldn’t turn off and we would have to get a plumber out.) The actual faucet came off in my hand. The area where the trash is located is so difficult to get to. It should in the front ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6788b124-1978-4882-940c-e80962cc072c-1760354217388.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Sarah Z.

However, nearly two weeks after our stay we were charged for things we did not use that they said were broken in rooms we did not occupy. WARNING DO NOT STAY HERE UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE CHARGED FOR THINGS YOU DID NOT BREAK. We travel often and have never had this issue. I contacted the host/owner and didn’t get an answer as to why it took two weeks for them to claim we broke things. We are responsible adults and would have reported any property damage. ##### Penny M.
