5 - Excellent

The cabin is very well situated , backing up to the national forest. It's neat, clean and well-appointed. We enjoyed our stay very much. We also appreciated the accommodation for a late departure.

Perfect Single Family Cabin

It was the perfect little cabin for my family of 4 to enjoy! The football table and the hot tub really made the trip great. There's plenty of space behind the house to play in the snow. It also had all the amenities we needed, including a pack and play for my little one to sleep in.

Nice Place, Notable Problems

Overall, the cabin was nice. Things to know before you rent: - the stairs are icy to the point of being hazardous. There was no shovel, salt, or sand for us to use. Don't bring kids, the elderly, or disabled people here in the winter - the beds were so hard. I found an extra comforter in the closet and slept on top of it and still woke up sore. Some people may prefer that, but I regretted not sleeping on the couch. - whatever cleaning service is used leaves something to be desired. I found chewed gum on a nightstand and they make you take your own trash to the dump. The benefits of the cabin: - more spacious than the photos imply! - the hot tub lid hinges so it's easy to push back and pull forward - the office is super responsive to questions. There was a sign up saying the heater didn't work, and despite sending an email to ask about it around 10pm, they still responded within 10 minutes to reassure me it was safe.

Very comfortable & Cozy

This is a nice, small and comfortable cottage suitable for two families. Has a very large private backyard with access to a trail and a private hot tub. It was clean and well stocked when we arrived . The only thing I would recommend is bring your own board games as the property had none

4/10 Poor

Poor upkeep

This property is not well maintained. The rugs were dirty, blinds were bent or broken, the curtains are old & hard to draw because of broken hooks, the king size mattress was sunken in from the middle, window screen upstairs was ripped at the bottom. One of the kitchen drawers was broken so it would not close. Poor lighting in the kitchen. The cabin had a bad stuffy smell when I first walked in. The stove lightbulb was out so I replaced it for better lighting as I was cooking. On a positive note, the cabin looks nice from the outside and I enjoyed quiet location of the cabin. The spa appeared clean.
