Beautiful cozy cottage. We went for a peaceful winter getaway to get some much needed R&R, and this place absolutely delivered. We loved relaxing in the hot tub watching the snow fall. Devon was a great host. She was very communicative and has thought of most everything to make your stay as comfortable as possible.

We did a quick weekend trip here and had a really great time! It was a very nice place to stay in and was so nice relaxing in the hot tub while it was cold out. A snowstorm rolled in the morning we were leaving, and Devon even offered us a discounted extra night. We would have taken it, but unfortunately we had to be home that evening. Would recommend this place!

We didn’t get a chance to use all of the amenities on site as we both came down with sickness. However, it was super cozy, there were so many games and movies to keep us entertained while under the weather, and all the comforts of home from music to utensils and wifi. We can’t wait to come back for the full experience!

Wedding weekend

Summer Get-away to Sawdust City Haus

We loved the coziness of the cottage. It is small, but perfect for the family to spend time together. The sauna and hot tub were a nice added bonus along with the coffee that was provided. Beds were comfortable and each room had it's own AC, which was nice to adjust temp as desired. Lots of games to play indoors in the evening. Deer were sighted frequently on the property.

Sawdust City Haus

Great little house within a short distance of everything you could need (food, restaurants, supplies). Loved the hot tub and sauna after a long walk in the woods with the dog. Devon was a very attentive host and had the house warm and lit up for our check in. Brought our own firewood and enjoyed some bevies around the fir pit in the front yard. Didn’t see any deer but that was ok, considering we had our dog with us. Great spot for a romantic getaway after the hustle of the holidays
