Cute cabin and very clean. They had everything that we needed. Loved sitting on the deck by the channel and relaxing. It was also very central to places we wanted to visit. Thank you!

Perfect “weekend” getaway

My husband and our kids(2 dogs) had an amazingly wonderful time. We got to watch baby robins leave the nest in the back one morning while enjoying coffee and the peacefulness of the neighborhood. It was super windy so we weren’t able to take the kayaks out but we did get some fishing done at one of the near by parks and off the back dock. One of the rainy days we enjoyed some good ol VHS classics(the collection is top tier). Definitely will be looking to stay again in the future.

Not a clean home, but a responsive host

Pros: - Host was responsive and quick - Big movie selection of old films to watch at night Cons: - Parts of the home were clean, others not. Yellow stains all over bed comforter and pillows, other people’s hair on pillows and couch, nightstands had not been cleaned, house smells strongly of mildew - You and your belongings will smell like mildew once you get home - No suggestions of things to do in the area

Cabin on the river

The cabin is quaint and small but had efficient use of the space. I should have asked that the beds be made up because I did want to use the property’s linens. We had to put the linens on the beds. The home had a lot of dead insects/flys in the tub/sink and floors that we had to clean up. The driveway wasn’t shoveled but the snow was only a few inches deep. The lockbox was hard to put back. The cabin was 19miles to Caberfae where we skied. The beds were comfortable and we enjoyed the dining room table and well stocked kitchen with salt and pepper. We had paper towel and quite a bit of toilet paper in stock. The cabin was reasonably priced for the holiday week.

The place was a cute little cottage. It had everything we needed and was clean. It did smell a bit musty. Opening windows helped with that, and air freshener. Contact with host was good as well.

Great little cabin

Came here to do some ice fishing. Perfect little cabin for us, has all you need for such a trip. Access to the main lake just a few houses down the road, with the canal out back (which I'm sure is awesome in the summer).
