We had a great visit at the cabin in the Hidden Pines. The cabin size worked well for our group of six adults. We especially liked the screened-in porch for all our meals. The kitchen and grill made cooking easy. We loved kayaking and canoeing on the lake and explored the beautiful nearby Mud Brook. Swimming from the dock was refreshing and clean- our dog loved it too!S'mores by the fire pit- looking up and seeing so many stars. Plus the yard is great for frisbee and lawn games. We explored the town of Crosby for some biking and I definitely recommend the Emily Meat shop for grillables. Lora was an incredible host. She was quick to respond to my questions and inquiries. Thanks Lora we had an awesome time!

Cozy Cabin w/ Varied Amenities

We enjoyed our stay, especially because this creatively designed and decorated cabin also offered so many of the variety of amenities that we enjoy in a tranquil setting. The owner was incredibly welcoming and hospitable, too.

After the excitement of arriving, we settled in and went fishing, found a northwoods breakfast diner and visited the Outing Yarn Shop. The cabin was nestled in woods right by the lake and we also fished (and caught some). When we wanted quiet we could choose between two different living rooms and there were beds for everyone. A great VRBO find
