We had such a pleasant and relaxing girl's weekend here! Very clean, all amenities we needed, quiet and beautiful views. We had everything we needed and great communication with the host. Had a couple inquiries on arrival which we got quick replies to. It's such a lovely cabin and was just the right size for us.
This was such a warm and cozy stay. The cabin had all the comforts of home. We enjoyed relaxing and taking in the beautiful views. We hope to come again. Thank you for your hospitality!
Cabin was very cozy. Was stocked very well with blankets and other essential. Amy was super responsive which made things stress fress. You can tell she really cares.
Very nice place to stay, very comfortable and great communication with the owner. My only comment would be limited access to the lake. We took our boat to other lakes to fish but there is no beach at this cabin.
We came out to visit nearby family and this cabin was perfect. We appreciated how well stocked the place was, the location and tranquility. We even went fishing off the dock and practiced some catch and release. We loved our stay so much and will definitely come again. Thank you for letting us stay at your cabin.
This was a very clean and well stocked property. The check in and check out went without a hitch., the response to questions was prompt. There was ample parking and trail access was easy. Absolutely no issues and only praises for our trip.
We had a group of 5 and 2 dogs that stayed here for the weekend of my son's wedding. The property is so nice; made me wish it was June instead of April. Cabin is super cute and very cozy; all of the amenities are there for sure! The property owner is super nice and very quick to respond. We could not have been more pleased. I would recommend this property without hesitation.

Cabin on Norway
Cabin was very clean, and in a nice location. Living area was nice sized, and kitchen was well appointed. There is no central heating system, instead there are heaters on the wall in the kitchen & the bathroom, and baseboard heating in the living room. No heaters in bedrooms, so we had to leave the doors open. Bedroom didn’t have bedside lamps or plug ins for phones near the bed.
There were no welcome instructions as you would usually see in a rental, which is nice to explain the best way to manage the heating, TV instructions, or local guides to restaurants etc. This would have been very helpful on check in for this cabin.

Thanks for staying! Thats electric baseboard heat for ya, the rules are by the thermostats thanks for seeing the rules and turning the heat down before you left. The restaurant and anything else to do was in the newspaper basket in-between the couch and recliner. I don't have a lot of rules just put your trash in the garbage can outside when you leave, turn the heat down in the winter, and obviously lock the door when you leave.
This was our final destination in a 3-leg vacation to the PNW. The owner communication, while short, was prompt and responsive. The house was very clean and this rental had the best linens of any VRBO I've stayed in hands down (and I've stayed in about 20 over the last 5 years). Kitchen equipment was clean and the kitchen itself was large for the size of the house, which is excellent for preparing meals. The patio was lovely and the view made it a great place for dining.The setting was absolutely lovely and quiet/peaceful and the location was extremely convenient. Coupeville was our favorite town on the island. My only very small critique is that there is very small signage out front, so if you are unfamiliar with the area, you have to be very careful to follow host instructions to find the place to a tee. Our GPS had a hard time keying in on the exact location. It could be that the local authorities don't allow large signage, but the address numbers could use better illumination or contrast on the sign. It wasn't impossible, however. Just follow written instructions.This was an excellent place to stay and I would highly recommend it to fellow travelers.
