Feb 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Peaceful and secluded honeymoon getaway! Rainshadow Retreat was such a lovely little cabin to stay at for our wedding night and start of our honeymoon! The location was incredible, super peaceful and an amazing view with the large windows right in front of the bed. The outdoor patio was perfect to relax on, we had some nice meals while watching birds come and go from the nearby trees.Everything we needed was provided and Paul and Natalie were fantatic hosts, very good at communicating and even offered us a later check out since there were no guests the next night.We are very excited to visit again soon!! ##### Daniel Z.
