This cabin was absolutely gorgeous, great location, and an even better stay! We stayed for 2 nights and felt immediately at home! The hot tub was great, and the kitchenette and outdoor grill was perfect for cooking meals. Dante’s down the road was amazing for dinner and extremely welcoming. Would 100% recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat!

We had an excellent stay! Everything was exactly as described. We thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub as it lightly snowed outside. Plenty of firewood was provided to warm the entire cabin on a cold night. Instructions on how to use things were very simple and easy to find. The location made it easy to get to resturants to eat that weren’t too far out yet still be in a quiet area. What a relaxing stay for my husband and I to connect without the kids.

Incredibly beautiful and peaceful location! The cabin was absolutely adorable and decorated so homey! The hot tub was the perfect addition to unwind at the end of the day! We loved walking around and exploring the property! All of the locals we came into contact with were so friendly! We will be back :)

What a wonderful getaway for our 25th Anniversary! The Selah cabin was the perfect place to spend quiet time together just talking by the fire, reading, playing cards, taking hikes, and sitting in the hot tub! Our cabin was cozy and cute as a button! Josh and Jessica truly thought of everything for the Selah, including seasonal homey touches that made our stay feel even more special. Thank you both for offering such a beautiful retreat right in the middle of God’s glorious fall colors in the Kickapoo area. We would love to visit again!

Can’t wait to come back! The experience was like no other especially with fresh snowfall and an amazing hot tub. Jessica and Josh were amazingly accommodating and understanding. The cabin was beautifully maintained and so comfortable. They were kind enough to check on us for safety reasons, and plow us out of the snow! Wouldn’t hesitate to book if I were you. You’ll love it!

The place was absolutely beautiful- views are gorgeous, especially from the hot tub and the cabin and gorgeous in and of itself, both clean and comfortable. Hosts are super friendly and I felt comfortable if I have had to ask for anything but everything we could’ve needed was provided for! Overall amazing experience and I would come back again, will be recommending!”
