Charming Cabin in the Mountains

This Cabin was perfect for my family's weekend ski trip to Dodge Ridge. My daughter loved the bunkbed and the whole house was cozy. The Cabin had a smart TV and the kids were able to stream their favorite shows. The location was very great, Twain Hart has a cute little downtown area a few minutes from the cabin where I was able to get anything I needed. The check-in/out process was seamless and I had no issues with my stay.

Weekend stay

It was fine for four guys. Power went out midnight first night,came back on in the morning Couldn't get TV to work. We just rotated from Ed's to The Epp to the Pro Shop to cover the down time. We had a good time. Forgot the potato salad and salsa and beets in frig. They are enclosed and in frig on the door. Would stay again, but the neat freak wife's would not enjoy, hence four guys

End of Summer

This was a great place to gather with family, have quality time together, and laugh. This is a cabin in the mountains with plenty of nature and peacefulness. The house was fully stocked, and the host responded to calls/texts. Just bring your loved ones, clothes, and food. Downtown Twain Harte is a short walk and, has shops, a creamery, dining, coffee houses, etc. We hope to return to Dandelion's Lair, and highly recommed it.
