Knotty is best❤️

This was our second stay at this cabin. It is good for a family of 6. 3rd bedroom is really better for kids as it has bunks. Both stays were right before Christmas and they had their tree up and house decorated both stays. It is a cozy smaller cabin.

Perfect Cabin for us

Nice cabin, very comfortable and had everything we needed. It is close to the road so you do hear cars/trucks, but it was fine if you close your window at night. Nicely furnished and they supplied board games for us to play.

Rented this property for the weekend for my younger son's birthday. He and my daughter in law, granddaughter and my oldest son had an incredible time. Home was very clean and cozy. The only problem we had was lack of communication from homeowner and Expedia on how to enter home. Other than that, all was amazing.

Amazing

I think my title says it all. This place was truly everything you could want in a home away from home. Had everything you needed and more for entertainment very cozy feeling also which was amazing considering the storm that came through. Jamie was incredible and I can't thank her enough and everyone else for the hospitality they showed. I'm definitely planning on coming back and spending more time during the winter year. Highly recommend!

Amazing stay

I can’t say enough good stuff about our stay at this cabin. It wasn’t far from the lake/snow area and in a quiet area which is nice for a family. Great area to play in the snow in the front. The inside was extremely clean and decorated so nice. Everything you need is there so it makes it easier to cook the food you take. We are already planning our next stay at this location. You definitely won’t regret staying here.
