About this cabin rental

Nestled in Douglas City, this lovely cabin for $149 per night is a great choice for your next trip. The Miner's in one word: enchanting. It is a tiny jewel of a place located just a few feet from the Trinity River. It's pet-friendly, has world class but challenging fishing right outside your door and exquisite river and mountain views. As soon as it was available, we upgraded to a fast and unlimited internet supplier (fall/2017). The Miner's Landing is a fabulous river rock patio with a fire pit & BBQ grill right next to the river. What beats a fire and watching the stars in the night sky? Occasionally we approve a fourth guest who can bring a sleeping bag and sleep on a (provided) sleeping pad, but this is a small cabin and best enjoyed by 2-3. Note: To access the sleeping loft you will need to climb a ladder (as seen in photos). If climbing a ladder will pose and issue, this may not be the best cabin for you. Minimalist cooking facilities, but there is a sink, convection/toaster oven, microwave, deep electric skillet and Farberware single-cup coffee maker with coffee pods and creamers included. There is a cool clock with mood lighting and nature sounds; you can plug your phone or pad into it to stream music. Some of our parties have brought cast iron cookware and cooked on the fire pit/BBQ or their own tabletop Weber down on the landing. We were invited to drop in on one of them and visited while he fried gorgeous potatoes in cast iron over an open fire. He patiently turned each herb-seasoned chunk as we caught up with their travels. They had just spent a month in Europe, mostly Paris and some of Italy, but were anxious to return to the Miner's beside the river. BBQ on the landing, or bring a camp stove and cook on the landing (please not in cabin; we have limited emergency response resources up here and a fire could be devastating). We have gas and Weber BBQs up on the main patio between Alpen Glow & Carriage House. There is cookware, dining ware and serving ware. Dorm-sized refrigerator has a separate freezer for that all-essential pint of Ben & Jerry's, plus we supply a huge cooler with frozen water jugs to keep it cool. The bathroom features a roomy shower with the toilet in it (like you see on some boats and in some trailers). We are always upgrading our cabins. We paved the main drive and put in a large parking lot at the entrance that's great for boats and vehicles, but Miner's guests have their own parking close to the cabin. All of our Steel Bridge cabins have Wi-Fi and late 2017 saw a switch to a fast and unlimited carrier. Yippee! Time to unplug and recharge? You really are going to love this place.

This property was a random find that turned out to be pretty amazing. Nothing in the description of the property is off base. Great little cabin right on the water with amazing evenings at the fire pit or cozy on the back porch listening to water and nature. There is road noise from 299, but hardly an issue. You can see the fish from the porch and can explore the surrounding small towns if the river doesn't keep you occupied. The only negative thing I would have for this cabin is the Bathroom. It is tight quarters shared with the shower, but I knew that going in. I would stay here again NO PROBLEM! The host answered any of my questions and I never saw anyone else while at the cabin. Close to civilization, but felt so remote!

As we were traveling between National Parks, we just needed a place to stay for one night. This fit the bill! It was tiny and comfortable and we enjoyed falling asleep to the sound of the creek. The creek was too high for successful fishing but still a pretty spot! The bathroom needs an overall. The shower head continuously leaked and splashed the toilet due to its proximity, but hopefully that can easily be resolved. We loved the little loft bed too. Just so others are aware, the traffic noise level is high for a remote cabin due to the shape of the mountains. We didn’t mind and would stay here again! Thank you to our host!

Was a rustic but not primitive cabin. Clean Very cold weekend but warm inside. Comfortable and the loft was nice. Trinity River right outside. Did catch a half pounder (as they are called). WiFi did not work easily but had to go into Link Sys. Was still pretty slow. But it made the cabin peaceful and quiet. The shower leaked in the shower/toilet. No kidding about the ladder to the loft - talks about a phone but none in sight. Rustic, beautiful, peaceful.

The constantly dripping shower/ toilet combo made the floor wet and moldy smelling… coffee was in the listing so I didn’t bring any… there was maybe a tablespoon of coffee grinds in a bag on the shelf. The worst thing was the shower did not work at all and we were there to attend a wedding! We had to make other arrangements to get ready! We called the owner but by the time he returned our call we had left to go elsewhere to shower. We also had to go up the hill to use the Wi-Fi for work and our phones. It was quite chilly in the mornings so not very comfortable.
