High Speed internet was NOT high speed. Bathroom very dated and dark. Could not get TV’s to work., so had to stream from our laptops to TV’s via HDMI cables. Kitchen was serviceable with a decent array of pots, pans, utensils and appliances.

Our family had a wonderful time spending Christmas here. Was cute and cozy and perfect for us. Would definitely stay again. If I had one super small critique, it’s wish there was a dedicated place to hang coats. We used the closet in the bunk bed room downstairs but because it rained it was a little messy moving it all the way to the back. But it was so not a big deal or deal breaker. Would def return!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, especially the rockers on the deck. My only complaint, and it is not major, was the lack of a top sheet on the bunk bed.

Had a very nice time at this location. One item you may want to check on is that the refrigerator door remains open you keep closing it but it opens on its own even with nothing in it.

Beautiful small cabin

My husband and I stayed here for a quick weekend getaway to take our son to see the snow. The cabin was perfect for the 3 of us. The neighborhood was out of the way from all the traffic and busy streets of the area which was so nice. We loved to wood burning stove and they had great instructions to get it going. The decor was beautiful, and the view was perfect out the big windows from the loft. We loved driving around the neighborhood to see the bigger homes and cabins. We would definitely would stay here again!

We loved everything about this cabin. Loved how they decorated throughout the whole cabin for Christmas 🎄! Washer didn’t work, they only gave us 1 wash cloth for 4 people, and the bath tub only fills up not even half way with hot water before it turns cold! Other than that...we loved it !
