Little Cabin Big Woods - Awesome Stay

I went for a quiet prayer retreat on my own. This cabin was exactly what I needed. Comfy, Cozy and nestled in the woods. The cabin had everything I needed. I really enjoyed the wood burning fire place. Looking forward to a return visit.

Cozy, comfortable, charming

The cabin is comfortable and is exactly what we were looking for to spend a few days away from the city. With 2 large dogs, we had no issues. Nice secluded firepit outside, modern amenities, and enough privacy to enjoy our stay. Hosts were great and straightforward. A smooth stay with no issues.

Little Cabin Big Fun

A cozy cabin in a beautiful area. Stayed for a weekend with family and pets all of whom had a wonderful time. The cabin had everything we needed for a great weekend of catch, campfires, walks, board games, and bbq's. The kids discovered the classic retro Game console by Nintendo and were amazed at their dad's Super Mario skills. 110% would recommend.

A great little cottage for a quiet weekend getaway.

We booked for the Thanksgiving weekend and had an absolutely wonderful time. The cottage was clean and full of wonderful little touches that made the weekend full of fun; the kids loved the little mousehole stickers and playing in "their" room. The property is stunning and my father and I enjoyed several chats out on the porch or by the fire pit while the leaves fell around us. This is a special place to disconnect from the world and unwind. Would definitely recommend it!

Porch - a - like - ah

As you can tell, we really enjoyed the porch! Coffee in the morning and sunsets in the evening. Nice and private. No close neighbors. Cute and cozy cabin. The wood stove did the trick on those cool mornings or evenings. We also enjoyed the beautiful 🐦🐦‍⬛ songs and 🐿️s

Magical getaway

We recently stayed at this gorgeous cabin to celebrate my birthday and Thanksgiving, and it was absolutely perfect. The setting was stunning—watching the leaves fall from the trees and the sunset over the lake was magical. The host added so many thoughtful touches, like complimentary coffee that we enjoyed on the covered deck each morning. The dog run and crib were such considerate and rare additions, making it comfortable for every family member, even the furry and little ones! This cabin is a perfect mix of beauty and comfort. We can't wait to return! .

Loved our stay at the Cozy Cabin Big Woods

We enjoyed the quaintness of the area, and the cabin. We paid additional fees for the kayaks for our teens, and preteen. They really enjoyed that option. Well thought out for a largish family of 5, and our two furry family members. Everything was there we needed, and cozy to relax in. I wish the weather would have co operated for more time outside to explore for us. It rained most of our stay. But that obviously was not fault of the rental, and could not be helped. We would definitely return with our family for a stay again to get away from the city. The walk from the cabin with the Kayaks to the boat launch was a bit further than we initially expected. We just used our mini van to transport to the appropriate area. Thank you to Graham and family.

Perfect Little Getaway!

We truly enjoyed our stay at this cabin near Buck Lake. The private firepit on the property is a nice touch. The town is great to explore with a cute coffee shop and store with everything you need. Our dog also enjoyed himself, he was tired for days once we got home! Thanks for the great accommodations!

Lovely little cabin. The hosts have basically thought of everything you would need to make your stay enjoyable. Access to the lake is a challenge as we couldn't find any. WIFI is spotty. Other than that, thumbs up.
