Nice cabin that was pet friendly. Had anything you needed to survive. Mosquitoes and nats were nasty but that was anywhere you would go end of May. Jeff and his dog very welcoming and friendly!!

The cabin was quaint and charming and had excellent reading material despite the low light. The bed was super comfortable which provided us a good night sleep since our days were full either kayaking or walking trails. I do wish the host communicated better. It didn’t matter if I texted him directly or through the VRBO app, he didn’t respond. To connect I had to call him directly. And lastly, without the oven working properly, the grill is your main cooking source which is a pain to cook on due to only half the grill working properly. Besides those couple of nuisances, we would definitely go back. And his dog is gentle and very cool!

Nice cabin in a quiet and peaceful location. Perfect size for a couple. We had 2 small children, so there wasnt much extra space but it worked just fine. Host did an excellent job making sure we were taken care of.

Cabin was clean, very comfortable, well stocked dry birch firewood, and the ambiance was perfect for my stay. The VRBO posted price per night noted that all fees were included in the price.
