Our family has now stayed at this cabin multiple times and each time has been great. Plenty of space for our large group to spend time together, share meals, play, and rest. Well stocked kitchen for cooking and the downstairs area with games is great for the kids. Also plenty of outdoor areas to explore. We've already booked our next trip - thanks as always!

The cabin was super nice and clean, and the kitchen was fully stocked. I probably wouldn't stay here again with more than maybe 12 people, so everyone can have plenty of space, but I definitely WILL keep Chandler Ridge in mind for future gatherings. We paid the extra fee to use the barn and another fee to have a small wedding. It was a lovely venue and still pretty affordable. The host was very communicative and accommodating. She let us check out the property ahead of time and even get in a little early to clean/decorate the barn. Overall, it was a wonderful stay!
