We were blessed with over 2 feet of snow for our stay, which created a winter wonderland. The home is close to trails for hiking, a lake out the back door, and a restaurant a couple steps over. The home was updated, clean, and dig friendly (which we love). We had an amazing weekend getaway in a perfect size cute cabin for our family of 4 plus our pup.

This is the first we have rented alsomething and everything was perfect. Usually there's problems with the plumbing or something along that line. It was wonderful to stay somewhere without any issues. Place was clean and well kept up! The view of the lake was beautiful. Bar and grill and store literally 2 minutes away. Couldn't be more convenient.
