This was the perfect cabin for our family during Thanksgiving week. You feel secluded but not to far away from everything in town. The kids didn't want to leave. Definitely recommended!

My sister-in-law and I had a girls trip at the Cubs Den for 8 nights. Everything was perfect. The house was so well anointed with kitchen items (plates, cups, glasses, cookware, silverware etc.). The fenced in area in the back with the turf was perfect for my goldendoodle. The doggie poop bags, and garbage for the poop was a plus. Also provided was plenty of firewood. The walk-in shower was amazing as well. The beds were so comfortable and the bedding amazing. The cabin was absolutely perfect.

Property was clean and well stocked with necessities. 2 areas I would suggest need addressing #1 it takes forever for the water to get hot at the sink in the master bedroom. No problem at all with the shower or bath just the sink. # 2 only one thermostat we could find for the whole house isn't pleasant. There is a huge temperature diffetence between the upstairs rooms and the downstairs. With the upstairs set on 71 or 72 for example the members of our family staying downstairs were very cold. We never actually measured the difference with a Thermometer but I'm guessing maybe a 7 or 8 degree difference which is substantial. Also there was some slight damage we weren't told about such as the door frame on the downstairs bedroom and some loose floor molding by in the rear door area. Looks like the staples or brads weren't substantial enough to hold. Overall we enjoyed the house though.

Beautiful location & dog friendly
Our stay was wonderful. Birds singing while I sip my coffee on the porch swing in the morning was so peaceful. We chose this place because it fits our group of 10 dog. The fenced in area was great for our doodle in the hot tub so no bears could wander up to the back . The double back decks were a favorite hang out spot with so much seating. The kitchen was SO well stocked and all of the appliances worked as they should. There was enough silverware, plates , glasses, ect including two an one meal without having to wash dishes for our large group of 10. The washer & dryers were huge and we love not going home with a pile of dirty clothes and being able to wash towels during the week. The area is a favorite so far with many wonderful shops and restaurants right in the community.. It's really nice not to fight traffic just to leave the cabin. The " fancy bathroom" was a favorite and the kids loved having their own space downstairs. Our group had four teen girls who usually get stuck with bunk room so this setup was something they really enjoyed. One thing to note is that all the bathrooms are in the bedrooms. They are all full baths but had 3 full sized vehicles and pulling to the parking was steep but there was room for two to pull up on top and turn around and plenty of parking for my expedition on the bottom considering the incline itwas nice to have multiple entrances and it shows up on google easily. In fact we had Walmart drop groceries here with no problem.andWhilesneak

Beautiful property
In the middle of everything but of the beaten path. There’s a one lane road that takes you back in this neighborhood of cabins, all of them on an acre plus lots, so you have neighbors but you’re not on top of them. Looked newly renovated when we stayed. Super well stocked kitchen, very hot water, and pet friendly. The mattress were all very comfortable and plenty of “common” spaces to just lounge. We’ll be booking again.
