Such a wonderful place

The cabin was beautiful with great scenery. In an area that we were close to what activities we were doing. The property managers were very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. Coming home we were thinking about when the next time we could rent the great cabin.

Perfect Getaway

This cabin was PERFECT for our needs. We brough snow mobiles and there were acres of property around the cabin to play around in. We brought 2 dogs and we were all very happy in the cabin. All the amenities were exactly what we wanted. The hot water in the shower was a little sketchy, but that's my only, and very minor, complaint.
