We take a trip to the Red with close friends every Thanksgiving. This home was cozy enough for eight couples and, despite the cold weather, we were still able to get outside and climb a good bit. Even got to enjoy the snowfall on our last day!

We really enjoyed our stay for the Holiday weekend. The rental was convenient to the area and activities that we planned. It was clean and the kitchen was very well stocked with everything we neededto cook with and MORE! The dog bowls and mat were an extra special touch. The city park out in front of the property was so cute with the Christmas lights on the gazebo. We would definitely stay here again!

Absolutely amazing. Ended up having our cermony right there on the property at the fire pit, due to all the rain. Amazing views, caretaker was amazing. Communications were super simple and quick responses.

Wow—what an honor to be part of such a special moment! 💍 We're so glad the property (and that fire pit!) made the perfect backup plan for your ceremony. Rain or shine, it sounds like a beautiful day. Huge thanks for the kind words, and congratulations again! 🥂🔥🌲
Everything was in good order. Checking out there was no garbage bin. So, we took the garbage offsite to a dumpster. You might want to check out a trash bin for the property. Some attention needs to be given to the landscaping. Overall - very satisfied with the property

Thank you for the helpful feedback! We're glad to hear everything was in good order and that you were overall satisfied with your stay. We truly appreciate you taking the extra step to dispose of the trash — and we’ll definitely look into adding a proper garbage bin and giving the landscaping some attention. Hope to host you again soon!
Very nice and clean. Kitchen definitely has any kind of cooking need. Plenty of room for the 8 of us. Tons of towels, comfy beds and cozy living. There was a park right across the river for the kiddos. Great property for them to run around and have fun and nice fires at night. The only downfall was 1 bathroom for 8 people (but we made it work) and the shower water pressure but it does the job. Had everything needed and then some.

Hi Marna! Thank you for your wonderful review of Alice Rocks! We're delighted to hear that you found the cabin to be very nice, clean, and well-equipped for your cooking needs. It's great to know that the space comfortably accommodated your group of eight and that you appreciated the ample towels, comfortable beds, and cozy living area.
We're pleased that the nearby park and the property's outdoor space provided a fun and enjoyable environment for the kids and allowed for enjoyable evenings around the fire.
We understand the challenge of having one bathroom for a larger group and appreciate your feedback on the shower water pressure. We'll take these points into consideration as we continually look for ways to enhance our guest experience.
Thank you for choosing Alice Rocks for your stay, and we're thrilled you had everything you needed and more. We look forward to the opportunity to welcome you back in the future for another great stay!
Home was cozy, nicely decorated, well equipped and beds were comfortable. Great location, one minute walk for groceries and pet friendly. Took advantage of washer and dryer (very nice after a UTV excursion)! Wonderful spot in the yard for a fire at night. Host communicated very well and welcomed us via text. Minor criticisms: there was a lot of dust on baseboards (and such) and a very noticeable musty smell throughout the house (although equipped w/air purifiers). My husband said he could still smell it in our clothes when we got home (although I couldn’t). I went to snuggle with the inviting soft blanket at the end of our bed and it clearly needed to be washed first. Also, would’ve liked to sit on the cute front porch but landscaping was overgrown onto walkway. Overall, I would stay there again for location, conveniences offered and affordability.
