This place is so cute. I loved the hot tub and the stream running through the property. It was very peaceful and quiet
Stayed sat-wed with my grand kids. Ended up with two 14yr old boys and a 12 yr old girl and 10 yr old boy. Place was perfect. Walk to lifts. Hot tub for sore bodies. Grandma had good facilities for cooking. Pleasant time reading, watching the tube, and walking the dog. Everyone was comfortable. Very girdwood ish. Would stay again.

Not Exactly as Expected
The location was great, walking distance to everything I needed. Privacy was great as it was tucked back from the road. And the hot tub, housewares, and towels/bedding were comfy. But the bathroom was barely held together with caulk, the floor is rotting away under the toilet, everything slopes, the beds are springy, and the number of extension cords/random outlets makes me think the place is a fire hazard. It could be super cozy...but it definitely needs some TLC. I think the Hobbit House would be a better description;)

Upon arrival, we had no information to access the door. It took at least 15 minutes to reach the host and get in. We also had issues with the Wi-Fi password. The host should provide this info prior to check-in. Shortly after, we wanted to leave for dinner but couldn’t get the front door to lock. After another delay reaching the host, the issue was not resolved, and we had to use the side door for the rest of our stay.Inside, the cleanliness was unacceptable. The freezer was packed with ice and still had someone else’s popsicles. The kitchen floor looked swept but not mopped; wiping it with a damp paper towel revealed dirt. The toilet bowl had fecal matter, the bathtub appeared unclean, and the carpets had large stains. There was a nice hot tub, but given the overall lack of cleanliness, we chose not to use it.The host only communicated through the app, even when I requested a direct phone call. They ignored my concerns about the home’s condition and made excuses for why it was not cleaned. The location was convenient and the home is cute, but the poor cleanliness, unresolved maintenance issues, and lack of responsive communication made for an uncomfortable stay. This review reflects my honest experience.

Great little cottage
House is clean and well supplied. Hot tub works very well. The little stream running through the yard is pretty cool. View of the mountains from the hot tub is second to none. Lots to do in this little town

Nice little cabin
Nice and cozy. Loved the hot tub on the deck. Could have been a little more private. Liked that the tv had a Roku hooked to it. Warm and clean. Easy to find and the electronic key pad for the front door was great. We’ll be back.
We enjoyed our time at this little get-away. The hot tub was a really nice touch. We also enjoyed the Netflix, kitchen, and unique sleeping spaces.
Downside - the bathroom door is on rollers and little loud, particularly then you are trying to go in the middle of the night! We also needed more batteries for the TV remote. The refrigerator also had a strong, iffy odor. A lot of these things are pretty usual for a rental, but also fixable for the next guests.
Thank you!

Small perfection
This home has it all. The pictures do not do this rental justice. It's small, quite and truly picturesque. You have all the amenities you could want. Perfect for a family with small children as they are confined to smaller area. Sleeping arrangements more than adequate. The hot tub is newer, kept clean and working fantastic. The sounds from the creek, no matter the time of day, are relaxing. Would definitely stay at this cottage again in the future!
Property was great overall! No issues with the home and the management company was prompt on responding to any questions. The only downfall was that it was not as private as we thought. Hot tub sits out on front porch which is within eye shot of the two story neighboring property’s that sit right on top of it.

Hot tub was great! Bring a mouse trap and extra bedding.
The hot tub was the highlight. The dwelling has charm. We appreciated the hobbit entry door with the mustache.
Overall our stay was fine. It was nice to get away for the weekend. However, there are a few constructive critiques that I would like to provide.
As someone who provides a similar service, communication is key! This is respectfully lacking. I understand that there is a property management vendor that oversees this dwelling and there were multiple canned messages sent but I wanted to actually talk with someone. I emailed several times but received no response. Finally a couple days before I received a text message and sent one back and someone responded. It was great! We had a need while at the property and I sent messages to the same number but no response. We even drove to the property management location but no one was there. I called and text the number on the door but no one ever responded. It was frustrating.
We dropped something on the floor and it rolled under the kitchen counter. My sister went to grab it first pulled out dirt and other yuck but not what she dropped. She then reached down again and felt something furry. She freaked, jumped up, and grabbed her phone to use the flashlight. She shined it under and there was a dead mouse. We were grossed out! About 30 minutes later, I was making dinner and another mouse ran across my foot. I was done!
The wiring/lighting is funky. You have to flip quite a few switches to turn on what you expect.
Bring extra bedding, especially if you sleep in the loft. It is just really hard.
It’s outside of their control but there are a lot to dogs running around and thus, doing their business in their yard and the driveway. We cleaned up poo upon our arrival and throughout the weekend so no one stepped in it.
It may sound like a lot of complaints but it’s more of an opportunity to create awareness. You cannot address/fix what you do not know.

Lovely Loveland Cabin
Such a cute, funky little cabin in the woods! The hot tub was a definite plus and was great after a day spent hiking on the mountain. Walking/biking distance to all the restaurants/brewery/shops. And the best part? This cabin is DOG FRIENDLY. We loved every minute of our stay here.

The down time we needed
I took my husband and our small dog there for their birthday very comfortable clean and cozy beautiful full working hot tub with all the Jets you need loved having the jetted tub also inside the home having everything on one level was excellent considering I have stairs at home we had all the utensils and cow we needed for the hot tub and normal bathroom shower use the smallness made it easy to relax and the walk to the little falls off Timberline road is also a nice short walk for a beautiful view of some Falls we will definitely be returning to this destination thank you Loveland cottage for a wonderful time
It was clean everything that was needed for the stay. Nice and comfortable, maybe the only thing negative would be the amount of chlorine that is in the hot tub but it was very enjoyable. Will stay there again!!
