Cozy and comfortable! First evening we had a large black bear come up to the deck and this was a nice surprise! We have keepsake photos of his departure. Our walk was postponed the first evening.
Cozy and comfortable. Nice blend of rustic feeling with some good upgrades. Had a little trouble finding the place but once we located it things were worry free.
The cottage was wondeful and the location is very nice. Met all of our needs and the owners were very responsive! Would definitely recommend!

The cabin was cozy and picked up I’m not sure folks had stayed there recently. The cabinets in the kitchen had a thick layer of dust and one of the chairs - cute was very dirty. Most of the VRBOS I have stayed in have available spices for cooking, but there is nothing available at this location. The owners were polite and responsive. The home is convenient and close to Pinecrest and other outdoor venues. Great for a short stay.

Very well decorated inside. Nice and cozy.
Wanted to rest and relax and we did just that.
Loved all the birds around the property.
Owner communicated great with us.
We had a very nice stay. Great location not far off the 108 in Long Barn. Beautiful setting, friendly people and great weather. The cabin is great, cozy, nothing fancy but it’s exactly what we needed. Perfect for families with young kids!
We loved our stay at this cottage. It was very cozy and perfect for our family of 4. If you are looking to get away and enjoy snow, I would highly recommend this place The owner is super responsive and nice. Our kids loved the loft and their beds.

We had a fantastic stay at the Cosy Cottage in Longbarn with our family of five. The host was exceptional at communicating - they provided clear directions, check-in instructions, and were quick to respond to any questions we had about the property.
The cottage was perfectly sized for our family and very comfortable. Our kids absolutely loved the Nintendo system, which kept them entertained during downtime. The location was ideal for our mountain activities - super convenient to both Pinecrest Lake and Dodge Ridge Ski Resort, making it easy to enjoy both summer and winter recreation.
The property was spotlessly clean and truly lived up to its "cosy" name. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed for cooking family meals. Having a functional kitchen saved us money on dining out and allowed us to enjoy home-cooked meals together.
Overall, this cottage provided everything we needed for a comfortable mountain getaway. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to other families looking for a convenient, well-maintained home base for exploring the area.
We really enjoyed our stay at the cabin! It was just what we were hoping for, clean, comfortable, and cozy. Great cabin for small families. We look forward to a return stay.
You can tell a lot of love has gone into it. Big kitchen with gas stove. Room for 2-3 working the kitchen at one time. I guess my only complaint is we had a hard time getting into the driveway with 2 feet of snow and icy conditions. I would definitely recommend it.
This place has lots of potential and is decorated very cute and cozy! The location was great but it was in need of a deep cleaning. Overall it met our needs.
Absolutely adorable cabin warm and cozy! It was our 1st time to Leland snow and it was an easy drive. We came home to the the cabin and enjoyed all the decor and comfortable furniture and beds. We will definitely come back!
This home was wonderful. Well-appointed, warm, cozy, and everything you need. A true gem when you want to stay in this area. Hosts are wonderful and extremely responsive.
The cottage is adorable and easy to access. Plenty of space for our family of 4 ( two adults and two preteen boys). We will be back. Love that we found this gem of a property!
We had a short but great stay at this peaceful cabin. It had all of the conveniences of home. It was very comfortable and quiet. A short drive from Dodge Ridge. My son loves the Nintendo system. Would definitely stay there again.
Great for short overnight stay on way to backpacking adventures
Nice property, easy to access, good communication. I thought the listing said three bedrooms but was only two - no biggie however as was fine for us. Also a little crammed housing tract with other cabins pretty close, but for overnight was great.
