We stayed 4 nights at Jim's wonderful property! It was secluded which we loved, we saw many many deer, a turkey and some Canadian Geese! The home is filled with so many historical items that were so interesting to see. The kitchen was amazing, great appliances, the pots & pans were great, which isn't always the case at a cabin in our experience. Jim was very responsive to any questions or concerns! We had an absolutely amazing stay and will definitely go again! The cabin is close proximity to all the nearby attractions which is always a plus!

Celebrating a 60th in Davis!

Two couples for a few days in Davis and a great stay at a fantastic property! The space was perfect for the four of us. We cooked most meals in and the kitchen was well equipped. We also enjoyed sitting on the deck for cocktails and using the hot tub when the weather was cooler. The fireplace inside made for cozy movie watching nights. You can tell a lot of care has gone into this property and we appreciated staying there. Would highly recommend!!

Excellent experience!

This rental exceeded my expectations as it was well appointed with eclectic decorations from around the world, high-end cookware in a fully stocked kitchen, exceptionally comfortable beds, 4K TV and sound system, and breathtaking views. We visited over MLK weekend when a snow storm was expected. The driveway was plowed twice (AWD or 4WD vehicles are necessary); the teenagers loved the hot tub and it was convenient to everything we wanted to do. I loved Jim’s maximalist decorating style as there was many fascinating things at which to marvel. Overall, we have zero negative comments as again, this exceeded our expectations. Thank you, Jim!

Cozy Canaan Cabin

Make sure you have 4 wheel drive if you plan to stay during Winter! The drive up to the house with snow is legit! Excellent spot if you want a more private escape but to also be close to Timberline, White Grass and the towns of Davis and Thomas. House backed up to Dolly Sods Wilderness Area so would also be ideal for hiking in the warmer months.Plenty if cookware and the amenities were all as described and in working order.

We rented looking for a snowy cabin weekend , which is exactly what we got. The location was perfect. Hot tub was awesome. The house itself was eclectically decorated. Can't wait to go again.

Peaceful getaway

My husband and I had a lovely stay at Jim's place. We had our two dogs with us as well. The views were stunning as we were there in late November and it was already snowing. The fireplace made our entire stay very cozy. The kitchen was well stocked. We enjoyed going on walks and runs and visited the town of Davis and had a great time at Stumptown Ales. We will definitely visit again!
