Our family had such an enjoyable time at Kevin’s cabin this new years. We had 6 adults, two teen/college age and toddler in our group so the house was a great fit for us with plenty of room for shared meals, family games and hanging out catching up. There was an extensive collection of games and books for us to enjoy as well as the ping pong, fusball and piano downstairs. It was a chilly and snowy visit, so we built a snowman and went xc skiing at Lake Superiors trails. We enjoyed walks around the lake, the Forest Reserve trails and our pup loved the dog park. We also loved the Bethel Woodstock museum. Kevin was a very attentive, informative and kind host from the get go. He was always quick with a reply or offering in advance info to make our stay great. He sent over area guides and shared activities listings with us.

This was the first time I rented a place from VRBO. It was fabulous. The house couldn’t have had anything else. I was so delighted. I was able to take my two dogs with me too. It’s hard to find a place that allows fur people. If I have a reason to go back to Smallwood, I would definitely book it again. Thanks, Kevin.

The family group from the north met with the family group from the south there at the house and had a lovely stay together. The lower level of the house was perfect for the teenagers. We all enjoyed the homemade ice cream shop in town. And although some of us we're way too young to know what Woodstock was, they still enjoyed the visit there.

Our Wonderful Christmas Stay

For the last several years, Kevin’s home has been a place where my family celebrates Christmas and this year was just as special as the others. It’s so nice to have a home away from home to celebrate. It’s spacious, clean, has a well stocked kitchen, plenty of bedrooms for my extended family, and has plenty of things to do for the little kids. We also traveled with our little dog, and the well lit exterior made taking the dog out at night very easy. Kevin is also very responsive to my questions. The conveniences of the space have families in mind and are well thought out. Thanks again Kevin!

Best way to spend a birthday weekend

The property was perfect and as described. What an amazing experience it was for our Siberian husky Luna. Looking at or being near, the lake is very cathartic, and all that we had hoped for. Inside there’s not a single amenity missing or anything you could possibly need. The host was easy to communicate with very kind and open.

New years stay

I stayed here with my family of 4 and another family of 4. Our group included a toddler and three 8 year olds. It was the perfect place for our stay. The house is on a quiet street looking over a pond. It was comfy and clean and cozy. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking. And whenever I had a question, Kevin was highly responsive and helpful. Checking in and out was easy, and we would easily come back during any season.
