Good to know

Welcome to the Creaking Cabin! Listen carefully as you settle into our authentic log cabin retreat—those mysterious footsteps overhead? Just the beams shifting and creaking with the mountain's changing temperatures. This beloved quirk gives our cabin its name and creates an atmosphere both cozy and slightly mysterious. Beyond its charming personality, this spacious cabin offers the perfect blend of rustic mountain aesthetics and practical comforts. The soaring cathedral ceiling creates an airy, open feeling throughout the main living area, where comfortable seating invites family game nights or evening conversations after days of adventure. The sleeping arrangements offer both privacy and togetherness—a private queen bedroom with door on the main floor provides a peaceful sanctuary, while the open loft overlooks the living space with two additional beds, perfect for children or friends who enjoy the unique cabin experience. With a full bathroom on each level, morning routines remain stress-free even with a full house. What guests love most: the spaciousness that allows everyone to spread out after active days exploring nearby attractions. Whether gathering around the dining table for meals or retreating to the covered deck's rocking chairs to watch evening settle over the mountains, there's room for both togetherness and quiet moments.

Great cabin tucked away but a very short 10 minute drive to the downtown local shops and Harrah’s Resort and Casino. Beautiful interior and space for a small family. Getting in and out the jetted tub on the main level requires caution. The beds throughout the cabin were amazing comfortable and great for my back. The hammock on the front porch accompanied by the wind chimes were perfect for relaxing outdoors. An enjoyable experience and super accommodating host. We extended our stay for my Birthday!

Brenda was a wonderful host and super responsive. We booked this location for the Polar Express experience for our daughter which was something magical by itself. But as our daughter said when we walked into this beautiful cabin, am I in a fantasy. It was clean, very spacious, quiet, and seclusive. Like I said Brenda was super responsive straight from the get go. We highly recommend this stay and we look forward to possibly staying in some of her other properties!

We stayed at Brenda’s for four days. We were going on the Polar Express! We almost paid the same rate for a run down motel room two years ago. This cabin is so nice and peaceful. She is a wonderful host. A bonus we thought was they have a game area for grandkids to play. Also, games for adults.
