great cabin

Excellent place to stay. So many great hikes close by. With no WiFi, it's good to plan day trips ahead of time, but cell service/WiFi is just down the road. Quiet location, walking distance to lake & trails. Love the bathhouse. Didn't miss TV - bluetooth speaker in cabin, so music is available. We've stayed twice and will likely go back.

Wonderful little cabin in beautiful area

This was our second stay at Connie's and it has only improved. The cabin is adorable and was able to accommodate our family of 4 + dog without feeling too squeezed. Host was helpful and friendly.

Location beautiful, sleeping horrific

To say this was a disappoint is an understatement. The bed was either a 3/4 or double pushed against the wall. Two women could not fit comfortably. I spent the 2nd night on the hide-a-bed. It was so worn one had to sleep between them for comfort. The 3rd night I opted to sleep on the couch which is narrow. The info on the outside boathouse was accurate & it was very clean and heaters made for a warm bath. Note - no showers. The location is beautiful but I would not return or recommend to anyone when two have to sleep in a bed. Cleanliness was rated low due to the amount of dust on the plastic flowers and lace curtains.

Cute!

Love the cabin. Love the location. Can't believe that the host feels it is ok to request that guests bring their own towels. Also, there is no tissue or trash can in the bath house, so you will prrobably have to bring your own, or go back and forth between tasks to the toilet room. Ridiculous. Go, but be prepared!!!!!
