Quiet streamside retreat • Hot Tub • Deck overlooking the creek • Wood-burning stove • Tucked below Sundance
Cozy, rustic, and a step back in time, this cottage will make you feel like Goldilocks.
Everyone loves this little cottage; from its rustic charm to the unique bunk room, you’ll want to return again and again. A vast meadow host to pollinators, wildlife, birds, and flowers awaits you at the end of a private and heavily wooded road. A wonderful little place for family and friends to gather just a five minute drive from Sundance Resort where you will find restaurants, skiing, live music, art studio, gift shop, spa, horseback riding, snowshoeing, cross country skiing, hiking, ziplining, and flyfishing.
The cottage is unique! A small but well stocked kitchen, quaint little bathroom with shower, living room with lazyboy recliners and a classic 1970s couch, wood burning stove and plenty of books and games. Through a doorway is another large, attached room we call the family room, from here you can access the deck, hot tub and rushing stream from the exterior door.
Room details and layout The downstairs family room has a twin size bed Upstairs is completely dedicated to sleeping, with one queen sleep area, a bunk area with six twin beds, and a bedroom with a king bed, rocking chair, and crib if needed.

This was an awesome place for quick getaway from Vegas. The house had everything we needed. The patio on the stream was exactly the place to relax watching the colorful birds and turkeys. We will definitely be back.

Quiet and Serene
Pamela was very accommodating even with the short notice. I appreciated the cottage warming with a fire as I walked in. Sitting creekside enjoying the beautiful sounds and fall day was incredibly relaxing.
Cute cabin very small. Bathroom is much like an RV bathroom and not on the private side. The cabin is cute and in a great location. There was some winter damage that hadn’t been repaired. Could have been more repaired this far into summer. Little unsafe as the porch had a big drop off. It was a pleasant stay but after fees not sure it is worth it.

Pamela was very accommodating even with the short notice. I appreciated the cottage warming with a fire as I walked in. Sitting creekside enjoying the beautiful sounds and fall day was incredibly relaxing.
This is the biggest little cabin! You can sense the history in every nook and cranny and it bring memories of the summer vacations of youth. Discoveries are to be had simply watching the stream a few short steps from the deck. Hummingbirds, butterflies and deer are here. Everything you could want for relaxation and a quick get-a-way or extended stay.
This is our 2nd stay at this lovely cozy cabin and it won't be our last. We love coming here with the stream by the hotub and the warm fireplace. The owner gave me restaurant recommendations and we went with Lake House at Deer Creek and EVERYONE loved their food. They are very very nice and our stay was perfect. Thank you so much.
The cabin was clean and well maintained. It is nicely tucked away but easy to find. We had an owl sitting on the porch and a nearby tree almost the whole time we were there. The host was welcoming and responsive to our questions. We will be back again!
This is a wonderful cottage on the creek. Exactly as described. We had a wonderful stay. We loved sitting on the deck and admiring the creek and wildlife. We also enjoyed the hot tub right along the creek. Excellent communication with the owner. We look forward to returning.
While the cabin is rustic, this was such a beautiful property and wonderful stay. We attended for a work conference and enjoyed the hot tub next to the stream and some much needed relaxation after some long training days. The beds were much more comfortable than expected and we all had plenty of room. The property owner was very responsive and great to reach out to check on us.
It went really well. Enjoyed the fresh snow and the sound of the stream. If we did it again probably rent something with a paved road.
Super cozy and relaxing

Beautiful and adorable creek-side cabin
Excellent hosts and such a wonderful property. There is so much space in the home and an amazing deck with a cozy hot tub by the river. 10/10 stars.
There’s a convenient walking path to Sundance and the cabin feels special because it’s tucked away. This would be a perfect retreat for someone who needs to get away, but who wants all the amenities.

If only there was two bathrooms !
A more fare score would be 4.5 stars! We loved the place. Everything was super clean. It felt super cozy and comfortable. There are other cabins close by but you still jave your privacy and peace on the stream. The kitchen is awsome! You find everything in it we could prepare home cook meals for 14 people the whole weekend. The hot tub was a nice addition in snowy weather, they provided plenty of towels and robes too.
The best thing about the cabin was the owner , Pamela. She is sweet, helpful, accommodating and very cool lady over all.
Now cons: there is only 1 bathroom and it can get challenging with a large group of people. The furniture are quite old, if you are looking for a modern cabin to this is not it.

Cottage on the Stream Labor Day weekend 2014
I stayed with a friend at this cottage over Labor Day in 2014. We loved falling asleep to the sound of the spring. The Deck was by favorite place to hang out, because it faced the spring. That Delights my eyes, ears and soul. The cottage is a great place to gather as we did for Thanksgiving with family and friends. It is suitable for small or large groups. This place oozes with charm inside and out. And for all those (myself included) that love fairies, you will delight finding fairy gates on certain trees and a story telling place where the seats are logs. Attention to detail is obvious. Craftsmen have done the work. The furnishings are comfortable, simple, and done with good taste. I whole heartedly recommend this place to stay, where you might even get a glance at the wee people, if you believe. — Christine Francis.
I adore the location. I’m in love with the rushing stream out front!! My dog & I had an absolute blast! We had two of our 4 best adventures ever while staying here. The owner Pamela is actually a mentor, not just a host—her communication is so good! I hope to return as soon as possible! If I owned the cabin, I would immediately yank up all the carpet downstairs. I get that carpet upstairs reduces footstep noise. Even removing my hiking shoes in the entryway and wiping my dogs feet with wet-wipes, we still tracked dirt in - which the carpet seemed to hold onto no matter what! Also, carpet always irritates my allergies. Then I’d turn the downstairs room off the den (the one with the back door that opens onto the deck) into a master bedroom. I would turn the A-frame nook at the top of the stairs into a second bathroom with a soaker tub under the window, a larger shower, & of course a toilet. I think these changes would make a better use of the downstairs’ sort of wasted space (adding a more private master bedroom with a closing door and rooflines that don’t require stooping would be super), and another bathroom upstairs would increase functionality and value. I am willing to buy this cabin today if you’re ever selling because I’m now eager to become a fulltime Sundancer!! Thank you Pamela / vrbo for a transformative experience!
The property looks MUCH nicer in the online photos than in person, but that is often the case. But the cabin felt very cramped, and there were only three of us. My two boys are tall - 6'2" and 6'4inches, and they felt almost claustrophobic– especially upstairs, where the roof slopes steeply and gives little headroom. The cabinet is very dark inside and it's hard to see well, even with all the lights on. The stove cooks very unevenly. I know this because we brought up some very expensive grass fed steaks to cook, and I pan fried them. The stove burners cooked so unevenly that it actually ruined our steaks (and I'm a good cook)! The one bathroom is very small-especially the shower! My tall boys had a hard time even fitting inside the shower. The DVD player was broken, the games that were there all had missing cards and pieces and we're in playable, and there was no TV service. We even tried texting the owner about the TV service, but never heard back. Overall, a rather disappointing experience – especially for the price you end up paying with the fees and taxes and cleaning fees stacked on top. Could've stayed at a really nice hotel close by and had a much better experience. The cottage is very mediocre. If things had worked better (as you are led to believe from the amenities listed in the description), our experience would have been much better. We were pretty disappointed. Oh, one positive-- the stream in the back was pretty.
