This cabin was beautiful and perfect size for our group of 8. We really enjoyed our stay, close to store but felt like you were in the middle of nowhere. It snowed while we were there and made it feel magical. I highly recommend this place.

Great location, needs some updates

Overall a great spot for a family vacation - awesome location, close to everything we wanted to do, great for kids, plenty of space for 7 of us. The place in general felt a little unlcean - floors were dirty, needed to be vacuumed, rugs and carpets needed a deep cleaning or just need to be replaced completely. The lower level was very musty and damp. We had to run a dehumidifier the whole time which helped. Had issues getting into the cabin upon arrival. The code didnt work but was quickly resolved by the host. The hot tub was not working properly - only half the jets worked but we still made use of it. Overall, I'd recommend the place, but for the price we paid, we were a bit disappointed that some things weren't up to the standards that it should have been.

Great stay for a ski weekend

We had a very smooth stay for a ski weekend at Wisp. The house was clean, comfortable, and well stocked. The location was perfect for access to Wisp, grocery stores, and restaurants. It also had a lot of fun games stocked for kids. Great for a weekend away with friends and early elementary school kids. We had a minor issue getting into the house at check in but the property manger was really responsive and we were able to resolve it quickly. We would stay again!

Mixed Messages

A nice cabin in a quiet location. Be aware that late March/early April can have dicey weather (6 inches of snow and 17 degrees on arrival, 70 and sunny mid-week, thunderstorms and more snow end of visit)! Despite Vacasa's written assurance that all listed amenities were on good working condition, the hot tub did not work and the gas grill burners were clogged and not usable. Note: Vacasa was aware of the hot tub issue since the tech they sent when we reported the problem said a new control pad was already ordered. Overall we had an enjoyable 5-night family reunion, but will not likely visit this location again.

Great Guys Weekend Trip.

We had a great time at the cabin. It was in a perfect location tucked away from other cabins so we felt like we were in our our area by ourselves. It was great to be so close to everything that Wisp offers. It is only a 5min drive to the Wisp resort and 7min to the lake. We cant wait to come back!

Needs some basic upkeep

House layout is nice but looking a bit run down. Locks were very difficult to operate on the outside doors. It often took us several people and 5-10 min to lock doors. Couches had no firmness and need replaced. We couldn’t find one pan to cook eggs with as all the non-stick were terrible and no other types to use. Hot tub temp was great although not all the jets worked. Also be prepared to hear every noise from Every room in the house. There is absolutely no insulation so this made sleeping hard if everyone isn’t on the same sleeping schedule.
