This house was fully stocked with more than enough supplies, dishes, and seasonings which is rare compared to the 4 different cabins I have stayed in the past. All the activities on the property made the stay enjoyable for the grandchildren.

We loved this house for our anniversary weekend. Very relaxing and clean! We got there late Friday night and we were welcomed with lights on and a cozy atmosphere. I’m very particular on how clean things are and this place was clean! This house is exactly as it is pictured. Thank you for a relaxing stress free weekend! Would definitely stay here again!

Super cute property. It was clean and comfortable and had everything we could have possibly needed. It’s a little bit further north of the entertainment area, but it’s an easy drive straight down 259 to get to restaurants and entertainment. I highly recommend!

We had a fantastic experience! The cabin was easy to find, the property was beautiful, and everything was stylish and clean. The kids loved the bunkbeds and the outside games. We enjoyed the well-appointed kitchen, the comfy beds, and the lovely fire pit. Everything was excellent!

We were blown away at the beauty and seclusion of the cabin. It was so amazing when we walked up, then entering the home was an even more amazing experience. It was clean and so welcoming. We wanted a vacation to rest and relax and this cabin couldn’t have given us a better space to do so. We WILL be going back to broken bow, and we most definitely will be returning to the Tortoise Shell!

This is the cutest cabin and a lot of privacy. The host was amazing and great communication! Beautiful property and great amenities. 10 minutes from town and all the things you want to do but far enough away where there’s not a lot of people

10/10 stay! The place was super clean, peaceful, and exactly what we needed for a relaxing getaway. The owner was incredibly attentive and kind, which made the experience even better. The bed was sooo comfortable — I honestly don’t know what kind of mattress it was but it felt like sleeping on clouds. It was very quiet and the perfect spot to unwind and relax with your partner. We loved our stay and would absolutely come back!

Absolutely wonderful! Beautiful cabin. Looks brand new. Gorgeous decor. Loved the hot tub and wrap around porches. Kitchen was fully furnished with quality items. Beds were like sleeping on clouds. Great location that is just close enough to town. The kids loved all the games and TVs. I loved the porch rocking chairs and master bathroom. We will definitely book again!
