The cabin is nice and cozy. It is pretty easy to feel at home with the cabin being fully stocked with EVERYTHING you need for you day to day. This place illuminates good vibes. The cabin even comes loaded with games. Small recommendations would be to high dust and acquire better fireplace tools.

Good stay with Family

Pretty nice cabin with very calm and nice neighborhood. My kid enjoyed a lot. The backyard is pretty huge. If you have a family with 2 or more kids, this is the one for the fun. The only thing I could say that could be improved, is the checkin process. If they change it to self-checkin, I would come here every year :)

Relaxing getaway

After a difficult year it was great to come to relax with my kids. The cabin was older but clean. Enough towels and trash bags given. The neighborhood was quiet and easy to get to all the low key activities we wanted to do. I would rent from here every summer

Clean and Kitschy

Excellent cabin! So cute and cozy, and VERY CLEAN. This cabin is in a great location and has a kitschy, rustic charm. Not fancy by any means, but provided an EXCELLENT weekend getaway for our family of four. The only thing missing was some sort of baking pan; we improvised, but if you plan to use the oven, make sure you have your own bakeware. Can’t wait to return!!
