Comfortable, clean, warm, quiet, spacious- would recommend to anyone!
My family and I stayed here to visit extended family. The cabin is very nice, the kids loved running around. We had a few minor issues with the cleanliness of the place but nothing that would keep us from booking again. Overall, would recommend.

We are so glad you enjoyed your overall stay! We would be happy to host you again sometime!
Check-in was great. However, the kitchen had some issues with cleanliness especially when you pull out the trash can. Very dirty floor. Plus, there were no trash bags, except for the one that was in the container for our 5 day stay. The kitchen was very well equipped with every utensil and dishwater needed.
Nice cabin, equiped well. Very private, saw deer pretty much everyday. The stairs are a bit of a challenge, twenty five steps from the parking area to the cabin deck.

We booked this for a place to gather with our adult children. We all enjoyed the cabin and really had a low key week. Made a big fire in the fireplace and chilled out. Watched movies and played games.

We hope to stay each year in this cabin.
