Rented this property for the weekend for my younger son's birthday. He and my daughter in law, granddaughter and my oldest son had an incredible time. Home was very clean and cozy. The only problem we had was lack of communication from homeowner and Expedia on how to enter home. Other than that, all was amazing.

Perfect Cabin for us

Nice cabin, very comfortable and had everything we needed. It is close to the road so you do hear cars/trucks, but it was fine if you close your window at night. Nicely furnished and they supplied board games for us to play.

Amazing stay

I can’t say enough good stuff about our stay at this cabin. It wasn’t far from the lake/snow area and in a quiet area which is nice for a family. Great area to play in the snow in the front. The inside was extremely clean and decorated so nice. Everything you need is there so it makes it easier to cook the food you take. We are already planning our next stay at this location. You definitely won’t regret staying here.
