The hot tub is a bit outdated and there is some maintenance inside the cabin that is needed. We also struggled trying to figure out the TV, but we didn’t come to the cabin to watch TV, so it wasn’t that big of a deal. Overall, the cabin was nice and met our needs.

Great place near beautiful parks and trails. The cabin was cozy and well appointed. The rear deck (with hot tub, grill and hammock) was a nice plus after long hikes. Our soar muscles and big appetites approved. There was a sufficient selection of cookware in the kitchen, a great table/island and good counter space, a leather couch and TV, a comfy king sized bed, and a good sized bathroom with stackable laundry machines and plenty of towels. We were very impressed by how efficiently everything was laid out, for maximum function and comfort. The directions for check in and checkout were easy to follow, and the owner left a nice assortment of grab and go snacks in a basket on the kitchen table. I'm a sucker for Oreos and Rice Krispie treats. 10/10 would recommend.

Forest Oasis

This cabin is in a beautiful, wooded setting. It is very quiet except for all the bird songs. It has wonderful outdoor spaces but remember to use bug spray. I had a tick crawl up my leg when sitting by the firepit. The inside was quaint and clean with all the linens, pillows and paper products needed. There is even soap and dryer sheets to do laundry. I wish I would have noticed the dryer handle was missing before I put in laundry, but my husband was able to get the door open with a wire coat hanger. This place has an amazingly comfortable bed. I'm glad I had a sleep mask with me though, because the air/heater is right above the bed and the on button lights up with a blue light when it is on. It did not bother my husband, but it was right above my head. Good TV reception and nice grill, bring charcoal. The only thing I wish I would have prepared better for was cooking. I needed some extra cookware. There was not a strainer or a pot big enough to cook a pot of pasta all at the same time, so I had to cook in batches. I didn't think to bring containers with lids for leftover food storage either. I would also bring foil and my own new sponge for cleaning dishes. The hot tub and hammock made the side porch even better. The view of the lake coming down the drive is beautiful, but you cannot see the lake from the cabin when the trees are leafed out. The gravel drive, especially after rain, is rough. I would stay here again but would like to be closer to Devil's Den.

Home away from home

Cabin was clean and very well staged. It didn’t feel like just another rental cabin or hotel. Owner was very responsive and even allowed us to show up early due to our other check out time at previous place. Location is perfect and not far from amenities, shopping etc. Will definitely be back and recommend to family and friends.
