Welcoming messaging from host Katherine who was very responsive. We loved the home! It has an open layout, wonderful large kitchen. The carpet was lush and cozy. The beds and linen were so inviting, nobody wanted to leave their beds. We loved our stay, and we cannot wait to return!

It was a really clean and well kept property. We were a little worried considering that it did not have many reviews and that it was available for our last minute travel. It has certainly exceeded all of our expectations. The kitchen was well equipped with all the basics (utensils, spices, coffee powder, etc). It has a table tennis (net is not good as most rentals ), foosball, dart board to keep kids occupied for a little bit. The restrooms were modern, upgraded decor. The view of the tall trees from the patio is a bonus. The host is responsive and helpful.

Thank you so much for the review and thank you for taking a chance on us for your last-minute trip! We’re thrilled to hear the cabin exceeded your expectations. We take great pride in keeping the space clean and the kitchen fully stocked, so it’s wonderful to know those details made your stay easier. We also appreciate the heads-up about the table tennis net—we’ll get that replaced right away to ensure it’s in top shape for the next game! We hope to welcome you and your family back for another view of the trees soon!

Family Short Stay

Lovely home - very clean, comfortable and cozy! Our son and his family stayed with us for two nights with our grandchildren- a 9 month-old daughter and 2 year-old son. Such a wonderful spot with everything you might need provided……even great neighbors next door with sweet children who entertain our grandson. Catherine was so helpful and responded to our questions quickly and allowed us to have an extra hour the morning of our departure. We would love to come back!

Perfect home

We loved everything about the property. All the things needed were well thought of. The only issue we had was with Internet, where it did not work one night and very slow the next 2-3 nights. ( It was good in a way that it got all the kids together to play games rather than watching)

Thank you so much for staying at our cabin and for the wonderful review, Maria! We're thrilled you loved everything about the property and that the thoughtfully provided amenities enhanced your stay. We appreciate you letting us know about the internet issue. While it's never ideal, and we sincerly apologize, we love that it encouraged some family game time – sometimes those unexpected moments create the best memories! We've since replaced all our routers and confirmed with our provider that everything is running smoothly. We hope to welcome you and your family back again soon!

We absolutely loved this cabin. The cabin is very comfortable and inviting! It is impeccably clean and spacious. The kitchen is well equipped. The large refrigerator kept our food cold, while the gas stove and oven cooked perfectly. There are plenty of supplied towels/linens/bedding. The carpets in the bedrooms and family room are in like new condition. Family room was spacious with a lot of natural sunlight and plenty of seating. There is a large screen TV and high-speed internet for streaming shows. The internet worked reliably during our entire stay. The AC worked really well. The cabin has three large bedrooms - two with king size beds (all three with ceiling fans). The master bedroom closet door was locked so we used the entry way closet to hang our clothes since it was relatively close. We had plenty of hot water. The back deck area is beautiful with lots of seating and a BBQ grill. The deck is shady most of the day with sun only a few hours in the late afternoon. We loved having our breakfast and dinners out on the deck with the beautiful view of the forest and big trees right next to the deck. There were no mosquitos or other bugs which was a big plus for us!! There are neighbors on both sides of the house, but it does feel secluded and private. The driveway is flat with plenty of parking. The host, Katherine, was very responsive and helpful. Thank you for letting us enjoy your cabin … we highly recommend this cabin and would love to come back!
