My best friend and I had a great stay with our kids at Daniel’s home. Beautiful property secluded from main road with beautiful views out the large glass doors that led to a large wrap around deck that overlooks a small valley with a flowing river/creek. House was extremely clean and as described and super comfortable mattresses were a plus! An often overlooked detail in my experience. Thanks so much for having us and we look forward to visiting your home again. Best, Jon

Thank you for the stay! We had a great time. The view is wonderful. For anyone traveling in the winter from the east I recommend the route from Margaretville along 30 instead of following Google Maps.

We had such a wonderful time at Daniel’s cabin! The peaceful setting, the lovely view of the creek, and the warm, cozy atmosphere made it perfect. Plus, it was very close to Bellayre Ski Resort. Dan and Mary were proactive and communicative.

House was great! We spent a quick night there while skiing in the area with our kids. House was clean, neat, lots of attention to detail. Only downside is there’s no washer/dryer which wasn’t an issue for us but might become one if we were to stay for longer. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again!
