It was a delightful home, well appointed furnishings, lovely linens, towels & pillows. Kitchen well equipped (other than an no working icemaker). Two tiny bathrooms, they could use mirrors throughout the house so that while others are utilizing the two little bathrooms, others could dry hair or put make up/lotions on. Really nice deck off of the back of the house looking at a golf hole that was fun to observe. All in all it was a lovely stay, we were there for a family reunion so many of our family members had houses scattered throughout Black Butte, we basically just slept at our house but it was delightful!
Beautiful property. Easy to communicate with the owner, Laura. However, there are several issues I had and my concerns are outlined below:
There was a last minute document she wanted us to sign 36 hours prior to arrival. This listed several stipulations / rules of the rental, which were not unreasonable, however should have been sent much sooner than days before arrival. The listing originally said 8 adults max (however I did not think this was a strict stipulation as there are 4 bedrooms in the home - 3 bedrooms with queen/king beds and then 1 Room with 2 bunk beds for 4 children), so the house actually sleeps 10. The bunk room was in the original pictures but they are not in current listing. There was a major issue when she sent us the document 2 days before arrival when I said there were going to be 11 people (6 adults, 4 children and then 1 baby in a pack and play). While we were eventually able to work this out, this is as quite stressful while we were en route to the property from across the country not knowing if we would still be able to proceed with the rental as she said there could not be more than 8 people including children in the document and messages right before arrival. I would not recommend kids going to this rental because the house and furniture are too nice. I was worried the whole time about every little spot and stain (which naturally happens in our home with kids under 7). I cleaned the home and vacuumed daily and still had her text us pictures after we departed of an unknown white spot on the furniture that I still have no clue what this was as we did not allow any food in the living room. Owners have strict rules about no shoes in the house but with how dirty the deck was before it was pressure washed, impossible to not track in some dust and dirt with being barefoot on the porch. Would recommend purchasing insurance through VRBO in case of any damage.
In summary, beautiful house, but would be better not as a non-rental. Not worth the stress and money for a family vacation. Probably better suited for smaller parties and adults only.
This place was darling. Great spaces for a big group. Clean , well stocked and an ideal location just off the 18th of Big Meadow. We would definitely stay here again
We stayed a long weekend in this beautifully decorated home. The kitchen was fully stocked and the beds were SO comfortable. The morning walks on the trails were a nice way to start the day. We would definitely recommend staying here!
Absolute perfect home to stay at to enjoy the beauty of BBR. We had a wonderful time, home was pristine, comfortable in every way. Overlooks the beautiful golf course yet very private, secluded. Owners have gone above and beyond to make this a five star home to stay at, defiantly not your typical rental home.
This home clearly stands out among others in the area because it is updated, light, bright and obviously well maintained. The photos are quite accurate but don't do the home true justice: it was pristine in cleanliness, has very high-end finishings and furnishings, is well stocked with a small but efficient chefs kitchen, and is extremely comfortable with amazing beds and linens. Every day there was a near constant parade of deer outside who serenely graze and wander through the yard and neighborhood, especially during gorgeous sunrises. The owner was incredibly responsive, kind, helpful and supportive in making our stay truly wonderful. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this beautiful property!
Beautifully decorated home right on the golf course. Attention to detail in every room. Took our children and grandchildren there for the week and were surprised at how well it accommodated us all even though it was smaller than homes we have stayed at in prior years. Location is perfect, equal distance to both main pools and golf courses and we really enjoyed our evenings out on the back patio. The hammock in the back was also a favorite spot for relaxing and reading.
We've been coming to Black Butte for years as a family, and this was by far my family's favorite place to stay. It was clean, bright, airy and had everything we needed. It was incredibly peaceful and relaxing, and we hope to return shortly. Thanks, Laura, for sharing your home with us!
My family loved staying at this cabin! The decor is beautiful - clean and refreshing, and the location canât be beat! The only thing we didnât realize about the place is that it doesnât have a garage, which wouldâve been nice to store all our bikes and gear in (especially cuz we got hit with a thunderstorm) - but wasnât a huge deal because we stuck everything on the deck undercover. So overall, I would highly recommend this home - Laura was amazing and very quick to respond to any questions I had. Hoping to stay here again in the future!
Such a beautiful home and relaxing family weekend! Definitely not your typical Black Butte cabin. This property is newly renovated and there was no detail missed. The finishes, furniture and amenities were so welcoming and made our stay so comfortable. Great location, with a secluded deck right on the golf course.
We loved our time at this cute and cozy house. It was clean, well stocked, and the layout was perfect for our family. The host was super responsive and great to work with. We would definitely return, and I so highly recommend staying here!

The Black Beaut Cabin is located in a private, but central location in Black Butte Ranch. The house is drenched in natural light and the huge, sunny deck extends the living space in the summer/fall months. We love the open space in the cabin and have renovated it in a modern, but comfortable style. Every design element was intentional to create a soothing atmosphere, yet still be cozy and comfortable. The golf course views are lovely, but we especially love being sandwiched between two aspen groves. Since the pictures were taken, we have replaced all the windows in the cabin.
