    5 / 5
    We took an impromptu trip to catch the last snowfall of the season. The cabin was cozy, clean and wonderfully outfitted with everything we needed. Sheets smelled delightful. Thermostat, fire alarms and Alexa all smart wired to make efficient and conveniently easy to use. We loved the huge upstairs bedroom and bath for the kids. They set up their racetrack and watched kid movies. All bunked together in 3 beds. It was so nice to have their own space and we had ours downstairs! Owners provided sleds and shovels and we went sledding and made forts in the backyard. We walked to hiking trails. We made a fire in the wood burning fireplace. My husband walked 2 blocks to a convenience store to get forgotten supplies. Groceries were a quick 2 minute drive into town. The hot tub wasn’t allowed to be used, which we discovered after arrival. This was the only bummer. All-in-all though a great place to stay at an affordable price.…

    Truly a superb experience. Betsy immediately made us feel right at home. She accommodated us in every way (early breakfast, dietary restrictions, property tour, and recommendations for our time in town). The property itself is fantastic as well. It is cozy and charming, like something out of a movie. The bed, jacuzzi tub, fireplace, amenities, and all the furnishings were perfect, and everything was immaculately clean and well maintained. We will definitely be back to this romantic and idyllic B&B.…
