Cozy autumnal stay in a beautiful spot!
I came to this cabin with my friends for my birthday. The location is beautiful, and though we couldn't utilize the lake (due to the cool autumn weather), it was still a lovely area to be in. Despite being out in the country, there were many neighbors nearby, making it feel safer for us. Having 2 bathrooms (& 2 showers) was great for our group of 4. The various provided amenities were great, such as the pool table and TV. The living room furniture was comfortable, with more than enough space for us, and we were able to cook in the kitchen with ease. The cabin was well insulated, allowing us to run the heating at a lower temperature in otherwise cold weather. My only complaints were that some of the dishware was not clean, and I found some plastic trash, likely from other guests. We wanted to clean up after ourselves better, but couldn't find a broom, and I think some extra cleaning supplies would be good. Also, the listing mentioned a wood burning stove and area for a campfire, but when we arrived we saw the wood stove was off limits, and the fire pit area was covered with a large amount of brush that we didn't feel safe lighting (and we couldn't find a fire extinguisher on site). This wasn't too big of a deal, but we did buy firewood for the stove and fire pit, so it would've just been nice if we knew they were unusable beforehand. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay, and though it wasn't perfect, I think it was great for the price, and I had a great birthday here!

Nice place
Very clean. More like a small apartment, furnished beautifully. Was pleasantly surprised. Only thing we found disconcerting was the lack of kitchen sink stoppers. Had to find a bowl large enough to do dishes in! Since we are both very elderly (over 75 & 80) a small hand rail (banister) would be nice to make entrance into living area a bit easier. Otherwise all good
