--------------------
Welcome to Acorn Abbey!

This nature inspired cabin has been curated to meet the various needs of vacationing families. Every way you turn, there's more to notice and appreciate about the space.

In the gorgeous kitchen, you will have all of the cookware necessary to make sweet treats to share, amazing meals for a summer picnic on the dock, or a winter stew meant to warm you up. Hotdogs can be thrown on the propane grill or cut up for fish bait.

Before curling up in the living room to end the night with a movie, we recommend heating up a cup of hot cocoa to truly capture the cabin spirit.

Down by the dock, you can enjoy a fire while watching the sun set behind the mountains and roast s'mores with the kids. On rainy days, they can keep occupied indoors with the arcade game downstairs or seeing what they can spot across the lake through the telescope in the upstairs living room. A unique feature and opportunity to brush up on some astronomy.

More of a guys trip? Not to worry. Enjoy a game of pool downstairs while streaming the game on the TV in the secondary living room. Glass doors open out to the back patio with the backyard leading right down to the lake to cast a line.

More of a girls trip? We've got you! The same second living room space is backed with a wet bar complete with ice maker and wine cooler. The dock is a perfect place to stretch out and catch some sun.

Vacations are a time for relaxation but sometimes things still need to get done. Bathing suits, muddy clothes, and damp snow pants can all be handled in the cabin with the washer and dryer. Big meals leave no trace with a dishwasher, simple amenities for a great trip! Showers may sound like a blase focal feature but you'll reconsider after washing the lake off in the primary bedrooms luxuriant ensuite bathroom.

You will have the entire listing to yourself.

If you have any questions about Acorn Abbey, our reservations team will be happy to assist you!
