"For those that like indoor entertainment and relaxation, this place is for you. There is air hockey, a video game machine, hot tub and tv in every room. The hot tub and air hockey is in an enclosed room off the living room so no worry about chlorine smells in the home. The video game Pac-Man is in the loft. You can relax by the fireplace place in the super comfy couches or sit on the porch swing and watch the deer or ground hogs walking by in the side yard."

"Great communication and super easy access with modern entrance keypad, Hot tub worked great and it was very clean. Cabin is secluded, but only a 2-3 miles from many unique shops and restaurants, Modern appliances with all utensils, dishes, glasses, pots pans, everything you need, even marshmallow roasting sticks, there was plenty of Dry-wood supply for our three night visit using fire pit.. The host communicated very well throughout our whole stay, we loved His and hers full bathrooms-The girlfriend took the downstairs full bath with a larger counter for her make up and I claimed the upstairs full bath, Plus, there is another half bath!!! The Internet was fast and the large TV’s in the LR and bedroom with king size bed worked great (as there was only my girlfriend and I, we didn’t use the other 2 bedrooms or the loft). We both highly recommend this cabin for it’s decor, atmosphere and space with super easy check in process as compared to other cabins we have rented"
