The cabin was as advertised, clean, quiet and close to all the things you want to do. Literally minutes from the general store, Mia's restaurant, there is even a farm stand right on the same street. 10min from Pinecrest lake, perfect for a summer weekend getaway!

Darlene and her team are world-class hosts! After some heavy winter weather impacted our first trip, the crew not only spent hours helping us get our car out of the snow, Darlene was incredibly flexible with rescheduling. It was the perfect home base for our ski trip to Dodge Lodge.The cabin itself quiet, serene and cozy. We especially loved warming up by the fireplace after a long day on the slopes. We will definitely be back!"

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Unfortunately our stay was extremely horrible. I was in direct contact with Darlene, the host, and many customer representatives from Verbo trying to get a refund for our stay because the rental did not look like it was cleaned before our arrival. We found spiders and bugs on the beds, dirty dishes, old towels that felt rusty, spiderwebs everywhere, and the place was just unsuitable for us to stay there. Verbo representatives and Darlene kept putting blame on one another as to who had authority to give us back a refund. They both refused to give us a refund. Please be aware of booking through Verbo or with Darlene, because they paint a pretty picture of rental properties and the rentals don't hold up to the promises they make. Darlene seemed so nice and understanding at the beginning, but once it came to taking responsibility for the dirty rental, she put blame on a power outage, and assured that the rental was clean a night prior to our arrival. I have pictures and videos of the place and this place did not look like it was cleaned the night prior. We are very disappointed with Verbo and Darlene the host for giving us false information and will be seeking legal advice to hold both of them accountable. I feel the obligation to let others know about my experience to help prevent this from happening to other families. Unfortunately, I can't upload videos but I'll upload some pics if i can. Needless to say, we will never book with Darlene or Verbo again.

I'm sorry you feel that way. It's a lovely cabin, has great reviews and return guests for years. We work very hard to give our guests a great stay. Vrbo works very hard to make sure guests are happy. I'm sorry you didn't stay at the cabin, we tried to assist you with re-starting dishwasher after pge pole work caused an outage. I'm glad I was nice and did everything I could. The forest is a wonderful place. We do give guests information about everything we do within industry safe standards to prevent pests and wildlife in the forest. We offered to get the spider for you at 10pm, or move you to another cabin, gave you a free night, early checkin the night before and tried to make sure you were settled but you left. It's a great cabin, clean, cozy and comfortable as shown in the reviews prior to and after your dates. The cabin is as described and pictured in the listing. Thank you, Darlene VRBO Host since 1996.

Cozy Getaway

The cabin was ideally located near the Dodge Ridge ski area, and we enjoyed being just a short drive away. After a long day of skiing, it was great to come back to a warm comfortable cabin. It had everything we needed to cook some yummy dinners. I appreciated the road and driveway were plowed, which made it easy for getting in and out.

We stayed here for 3 nights during thanksgiving. The kitchen had everything we needed. Property manager was very responsive. The cabin was very modern and well decorated. We brought several DVDs, but there were plenty there for us to watch. There was a little bit of snow and it was easy for us to play right outside the cabin. We would stay here again!

Overall, we had a blast and loved the snow on Christmas Day. Nitpicking, I will say the wifi was spotty so karaoke was limited. Warm but fireplace hard to use because the dial was not precise. Oven smaller than standard so pan to bake gingerbread house didn’t fit. Listing mentions bringing laundry detergent but there isn’t a washing machine so that was confusing.
