A very clean property. The kitchen was fully stocked. Scott, the owner was excellent to communicate with and was always very prompt and cordial to answer any questions or concerns that I had. The cabin was located in a small community away from the crowds , which is what we prefer! The neighbors around the cabin were very nice, friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay at this property again.

Yes, it IS a great place to stay & enjoy the surrounding area. Whether your hunting, fishing, hiking, ATV'ing, exploring, skiing, or just want to relax, it's a wonderful place to stay. Also, with our "Barn Cabin" across the street, it opens up options for larger families/groups in planning their vacations . . .
