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.
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 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.
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.

Great Location
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.
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!
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!
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.

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.
Cute place, nicely decorated and uncluttered. Very clean. My colleague and I were using this as a working retreat but the Wifi is slow and the only way to prevent netflix from freezing was to have both our laptops closed. Small things missing ie no hand soap in the kitchen, no kleenex/tissue anywhere to be found, no trash bag in kitchen waste basket (didn't realize until after we put garbage in it and then had to transfer into the single bag we found under the sink). The gas stove first burner dial is a safety hazard. All markings have been rubbed off and it freely spins/turns around. We thought it was off indicated by the worn F left on the dial. Kept smelling gas. We lit the back burner which automatically lit the front left one, which meant it was still putting out gas. Turned knob about an inch past the F for the flame to go out. We had to open windows and doors to vent. Knob/stove should be replaced. My colleague needs to be near a bathroom during the night so she slept on the couch since there isn't one upstairs. Steps going upstairs are very shallow, a but precarious going up and down. Sitting in the living room on the couch, we had to reposition the tv stand so we could view from the couch. To solve this problem, mount it to wall with the ability to pull it out and swivel or mount above the fireplace. The bed upstairs was comfortable. Because of the issues mentioned, we'll try a different place next time. Communication was great though and no issues getting the key.
owners were friendly and quick to respond,accurately described, super cute cabin on a. quiet street, would stay here again

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.
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.
My husband, 22 year old son and I had a great stay. The cottage was very clean and in a quiet location. Frank responded quickly to messages sent regarding the stay. We enjoyed coffee on the deck in the mornings. After hiking during the day we had fun picking a movie from the DVD collection and relaxing in the evenings. It was also nice to have the washer/dryer available.
My husband, kids (ages 11 and 8) stayed here and absolutely loved it. The cabin was so clean, nicely decorated, super cozy, had comfortable beds and was just the cutest little place. We only stayed one night because we just wanted a place close to Dodge to ski, but we could have happily stayed a week. It was the perfect spot for enjoying a movie night on the comfy couch and oversized chairs, a kitchen the was plenty big enough and well stocked, a terrific heating system that warmed up the house nicely, and a quiet neighborhood, too. The washer and dryer were nice to help clean/dry the kids' ski pants and gloves in between playing outside and hitting the mountain. The kids loved their room and all the beds were comfy. We would love to return. Thank you!
It was our first time to the area. It was very quiet and private and seemed safe. My children say it was warm, cozy and cute. It was simple and had everything we needed. The kids loved the Nintendo. Sweet details towards kids, with their sleeping room and decor.
