Love this cozy cabin for family members!

My adult Children and little grandchildren stayed in this cabin and they loved it very much! They said it was very enjoyable and said their hostess was so kind and attentive when they asked her a question she helped them right away! They enjoyed letting their little ones play around the big tree and was very comfortable in the neat cozy little cabin!

Clean and cozy

My parents live on the lake but we like to have our own space when we visit. My husband and I have rented a few different places throughout the years. Big Tree Little Cabin has been our favorite so far! The property is spacious and the big tree is amazing. The cabin is very cozy and clean. There were plenty of towels, linens, and supplies to make our stay simple. Check in and out was very straightforward and easy. Hopefully this property will be available when we plan to visit again!

Tiny house

Very clean except front porch/entrance. Refrigerator and bed were too small and bed was very uncomfortable and saggy. Told rental company about our complaints and nothing was talked about after our concerns. Didn’t get good rest because of the worn out mattress.

Property was great!! My wife and I visited the area to check out Shawnee Forest and other surrounding areas. This cabin was very well located for us. The interior was fantastic. Anything you may have wanted was there. The bed was super comfy and clean. The bathroom was very well stocked and very clean as well. We would 100% stay here again if we come back through the area.
