The beds were comfortable, every amenity imaginable was included, and we genuinely enjoyed our time at Hogback Lodge. The outside bar was an oasis where we could still spend time outdoors and dodge the droplets. We even discussed returning in May next year to indulge again, and take in the surrounding activities, of which there are many. I highly recommend this location for a small family or group of friends. ##### Joseph G. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laura B.

I would unequivocally, highly recommend this beautiful cabin to anyone. Our expectations were high after seeing the pictures only to be exceeded when we arrived. Cozy, extremely clean, and with all the amenities, this wooded paradise made for a very enjoyable stay. One last note about the host. On the second day of our stay, there was a regional power outage due to a windstorm. Not only did the host send an employee in-person to see if we needed anything, but a second employee contacted us by phone to make sure we were accommodated. We felt this went above and beyond the host's obligation but were grateful for his efforts! ##### Douglas S. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2023
