Hawks Nest

Thank you for the excellent service and communication. We were happy with our stay. We may be interested in booking something for next year's 4th of July weekend as well. Probably a slightly larger cabin that is preferably closer to the lake or clubhouse.

This was a beautiful cottage in a wonderful community (Bear Lake Reserve) that we've stayed at multiple times (other locations). The setting was so peaceful, and the home was comfortably furnished. We enjoyed our stay very much!Our only disappointment was in the quality of the kitchen cookware and supplies compared to previous VRBO rentals. Some of it needs updating, and some basic things (like ziploc bags and ice packs for packing lunch for hikes) would have been helpful. It also would have been nice to have olive oil or cooking spray. Canola oil was there, but very grimy on the tops, and not a good healthy option for cooking.Overall, we would still recommend it to friends!

Liz, While we do not provide food items or Ziploc baggies for guests to use, we can certainly pass along the recommendation to the owner. We're glad to see that you enjoyed your stay.

Great place to stay, especially if you are attending a wedding at the Castle down the street. I would suggest printing out your checkin instructions prior to arrival because you likely won't have cellular connection at the cabin.
