Perfect for our group

Loved the location. Easy walk to the quiet lake. Lake was wonderful..provided beach toys for the kids, chairs,and even a small kayak to paddle around the lake. House was clean, lots of kitchen supplies and a great layout for all of us to stretch out.

Nice House

Overall the house was well stocked and very nice. Only complaint was the twin bed in the playroom / 4th bedroom. It is more of a folded up mat than a bed (like a futon without a frame).

Inaccurate , dirty

The house is not as new and clean as pictured. Then linen had stains, large ones, the walls had random nails sticking out, and after one day poop water started coming up from the tub when we flushed….and it’s listed as 2 queen beds, 3twin bed and 1 double, in reality there was no double bed, it was mat on the floor….

We apologize for the inconveniences you experienced during your stay. Your feedback is valuable, and we will address the issues you have raised to ensure a better experience for future guests. Please know that we strive to provide accurate information and a clean, comfortable environment for all our visitors. We sent someone out as soon as we were informed by you the toilet had been clogged, and that clog bad enough to cause back up into the tub, and it was remedied. The listing states there is a full futon (not a double bed), which there is at the home. Again, sincerest apologies for any inconvenience you may have experienced during your stay.

Well stocked kitchen for families.

The kitchen was well appointed for cooking for adult and children. Lots of pots pans and other essentials to make a great winter cabin experience plenty of parking. large hangout space for group. I did see on some other reviews that the second bedroom upstairs is described as having a double bed and it does not. The upstairs has one room with three twins. The fourth room is really just a playroom with a sleeping mat. Do not expect anyone to be sleeping in that fourth bedroom. We ended up making it work but less than ideal to advertise that there’s a bed in the room. The bedding is very minimal if you like blankets or comforters bring your own.

In the future, we will ensure that all information provided is clear and accurate. Thank you for your understanding, and we hope you had an enjoyable winter cabin experience overall.

Not bad

The pictures definitely made the place looks bigger than it is; props to the photographer. The kitchen island along with the kitchen range was very nice. A shame that it was raining all day while we were there. The only thing I could see as an improvement is to provide more trash bags and more toilet paper. Other than that, I would return here next time.
