This was a fabulous cabin for all of us! It was super spacious and felt very woodsy and gave the perfect up north feel. Everything was super clean and comfortable, and the game room was a big hit! The hosts were super kind and communicative, and were super helpful all throughout the weekend. Everyone loved the lake and the docks, and were super excited when we caught a fish! Overall this was a super cozy weekend, filled with lots of laughter and smiles.
The property was on a beautiful lake setting. The location to the SXS trails was great as well. There is so much room to accommodate a large group! My only complaint would be the cleanliness. There were so many dead flies everywhere and there was a very musty odor when we first arrived. Maybe they just need to air it out more often and give it a deep clean. Overall great experience.
