Highly recommend! Our host, Mrs. Jen, was absolutely amazing! She was able to provide us a map of the area and had knowledge of trails we asked about (I have a hard time breathing on steeper trails). The place is absolutely beautiful and you feel right at home the second you pull in the driveway. The whole family plus the pups had an amazing time and we're looking forward to going back.

Jen and her team were excellent to work with! Kurt was super knowledgeable about the river and advised best put-in and take-out locations for a kayak trip. The house was well stocked with dishes and kitchen utensils. The pavilion made for a great breakfast spot to chat and enjoy coffee & food.

When we was welcomed by the host she was very pleasant. She gave us alot of suggestions about the area. We brought our 2 dogs they ran and played in the large back yard. The host brought us extra towels and washcloths when asked. Offered to get us more firewood as we are firewood bugs.Everything in the cabins was clean and well furnished. Thank you for a great family experience.

My family had a wonderful time at the Hemlock Haus! Jennifer and her family were friendly, considerate hosts who went out of their way to ensure we had all of the information and items we needed! It is beautiful there, cozy, and they even had a trampoline and swing for the kids which was SO much fun for them! We'll definitely come back to Cook Forest again.

Perfect little gem on private land surrounded by Cook Forest. Kayak and inner tube trips just minutes away. Grandkids loved the trampoline and saucer swing. The littlest one made sure he got up to say good morning to the chickens every morning. Rented both upper and lower cabins which is surely the way to go. Our stay was excellent and I would highly recommend.
