Wonderful Stay!

We had a wonderful stay at Amanda's home! She was super communicative, the Adirondack chairs on the deck were magical to sit and look over the trees, and we enjoyed the well-stocked and cozy atmosphere! Will be back next summer!

5 Stars!

Absolutely loved our stay! The home was beautifully decorated, and even better than the photos. Every detail was thoughtfully prepared — from the cozy linens to the fully stocked kitchen. The location was perfect: peaceful and close to everything we needed. Amanda was incredibly responsive and made sure we had everything for a comfortable stay. We felt right at home and can't wait to come back. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing, worry-free getaway!

Great house

The house was fine and the kitchen is well stocked. The information for check in needs to be more complete re the keypad and the key needed to get in. Thankfully I asked about it before we got there and we were able to get in.

our fam’s review

We thought the property and home were beautiful and in a good location! The kitchen was fully stocked, updated appliances and overall nicely decorated. Our only criticism was that it smelt like animal urine, especially when sitting on the floor and on the couch. We loved that it was pet friendly and ultimately was why we booked it but the smell was very overpowering. Also, upon checking in we were never sent in check in information so we had to call when we got there. Other than those two things, we loved it! Thank you for having us!

Perfect cabin

This is our fourth time to the area, staying in various cabins. We all agree that this one is our favorite! We wanted a place where we wouldn’t have to drive to go sledding and this place delivered. Snow literally right outside the door. Kids played in the snow on the deck and went sledding right outside the door. Very clean place with the perfect mix of modern home and cozy cabin.

Great winter wonderland

Check in was at 4p we arrived at 2:30p was able to call the property manager and check in early. The cabin was clean and all of the amenities looked newly updated. The cabin was really nice inside and out. I loved that we could sled and play in the snow right there on the property. They had pots and pans, coffee maker and even a washer/dryer. I will definitely be staying again.
