The listed 2-night minimum does not apply to all times. At certain times of the year we have a longer minimum; however, we can often accommodate stays as short as 2 nights on weeknights, or last-minute requests, or if your stay fits well into the calendar. For these reasons, we accept short stays occasionally. If you'd like a short stay, go ahead and inquire and we'll do our best to accommodate you.

Great cabin for a peaceful Thanksgiving weekend

We enjoy our stay at the El Matador cabin. We like the location of the cabin, quiet and within walking distance to Burro Street and close to hiking trails. The kitchen is well equipped for us to prepare our Thanksgiving meal. Overall we have a great stay.

A very cute and clean property. Super convenient to town but still quiet! Loved seeing the deer in the morning. Got a few inches of snow the first night and it made the area so pretty! We will return to this property!

Love Charming Home

This is our 3rd time staying in this home. Very charming. Have already made a reservation for next year at the same time. The housekeeping service does need to pay closer attention. Very dirty oven at checkin and no toilet paper. Host was unaware.
