Clean and Easy
Some things you expect when you stay at a rental property like clean bathrooms, kitchen, sheets and towels. Of course, this house is clean! Then there are those things that just make a stay easier and more fun…a kitchen with working useful items, labeled light and other switches, an easy entertainment system without 4 different remotes, outdoor lights that come on when you are unfamiliar with your surroundings, toys and games, and being able to park your car and enter in the garage out of the snow. These are the things that make this house a step above others!

Perfect for Family Fun
This property has everything a family needs for a relaxing weekend get away in the snow. Of course there was lots of snow, but the place came equipped with all the tools to clear the snow out of the way, and the kids had fun helping out. The only thing I can think of to make it a little better is an enclosed yard (so when your dog wakes you up in the middle of the night you don’t have to go out in the cold). Check-in and check-out was easy. Would recommend!

Kid and Pet friendly Cabin
The cabin was clean, updated, open floor plan, equipped with games for kids and in a great location. You have access to amenities like the pool and beach but there is a daily fee of $17 per person, which we didn’t realize. The price includes access to amenities for one day only, so we had to plan accordingly. Not a big deal because we had a great time at the beach /pool but would have been helpful to know upfront.
Overall we had a great family vacation and would definitely stay here again. The home is a real gem and offers a great family vibe.
