Great communication about check in, facility and check out. Cabin was perfect for 5 adults. The only thing we noticed was a way to light the grill would be great. (Could not get the ignition switch to work)

If you’re looking for seclusion but still be close to civilization, this was it. I was by myself taking a few days away from the family for a reset and it was fabulous. Very little traffic noise, actually there was hardly any. And there were fireflies at night. It was great

We enjoyed the stay

The property was clean and had an amazing view of the lake. The lake is a walk up and down a steep hill. We enjoyed the hot tub. We stayed on the fourth of July and loved the fireworks from the porch and hot tub area!

The cabin was beautiful and clean. The view was gorgeous and the area was very peaceful. The only real complaint would be uncomfortable beds. Everything else was wonderful. Definitely would visit again.

Wonderful winter cabin

Beautiful spot for any time of the year. Truly enjoyed the sightseeing in the area especially the original Mast General Store and the winery “just down the street”. Good distance to the snow tubing and ski resorts. We will be back!
