This was such a cozy get away! The kids loved the loft and the hot tub. We loved that everyone had their own space but that it was still intimate at the same time. We will surely return!

Really enjoyed our stay at this cabin. Perfect space for our quick weekend trip with 2 other couples. The room configurations with king beds and en-suite bathrooms for each couple was a main reason in choosing this particular rental. Great communication from the host, house was clean, area was easy to get to and close to Big Cedar Lodge where most of our weekend events were. Highly recommend!!

We throughly enjoyed our weekend at the cabin. The cabin was very clean and beautiful. However, some of our party were a bit disappointed when the hot tub didn’t work correctly as well as one of the jets in the bathroom tub. I understand things break and have to be fixed just so happened it was like this during our stay. We would stay here again.

Pet friendly, absolutely amazing host. Ran into a problem with the bed being loose and within 30 mins they had maintenance on top of it and fixed. Loved how the host consistently checked in on our family to see if we needed anything. Most definitely will be booking with them on our future vacations! Couldn’t ask for better

We had a great stay. Communication from the host was excellent. The cabin was cozy and fairly clean. There were a few minor things, like the showerhead in the master bathroom was leaking a little and the shower in the bedroom over was partly plugged, but other than that, everything was as advertised and the price was very reasonable.

Property was fantastic! It does say that you must "clean the grill and fire pit after use" and it definitely was not clean when we got there. We had to clean the grill before use and the fire pit was overly full of ash. Other than that we loved it! Will definitely book again.
