Beautiful private cabin, accurate listing. Host communications were prompt, courteous, and clear. Kitchen is well stocked. Would definitely stay again when in the area!
The owners of this darling property have thought of everything to make visitors comfortable...lots of pillows and throws, long leash to keep our dog on outside, comfy chairs by the fire pit, hammock, comfy beds, nice dishes, coffee. We misplaced a key while there and they responded quickly and kindly. Wonderful quiet setting in the woods, with lakes a short drive away. So cozy!
This was the perfect little getaway for us! Log cabin in the woods without getting totally off the grid. Loved the sauna! Host was friendly, engaging, and accommodating about our late check out request. And, not having a long list of “to-do’s” at checkout was much appreciated and the perfect way to end the vacation. Great stay and a great value!

Thank you so much for this review! We loving hearing the feedback! You were excellent guests!
Adorable, comfortable cabin! Loved the outdoor firepit and the peace and quiet (all we could hear were the birds and the falling leaves). Enjoyed our stay very much!
We had a great time staying at the cabin in the woods. We came up for a relaxing weekend and really enjoyed the cozy and relaxing space. The fireplace and the sauna helped keep us warm during some of the coldest days of the year. Eric and Audrey were great hosts and were quick to respond with any questions we had and were great communicators. We look forward to planning a future trip staying here again.
We truly had a great experience at this cute little log cabin. It was very clean and comfortable and the sauna was the perfect touch. The hosts were easy to work with and responded quickly to our questions. Definitely a place we would stay at again if in the area.

thank you so much for the nice words! You were a GREAT guest!
The cabin was perfect! Beautifully set in the woods, but close enough to attractions and shopping if needed. It was neat and furnished with everything we needed, plus some sweet extra touches. We would definitely recommend and stay here again! The hosts were quick to respond to questions.
Great for a winter getaway, close to ample trails in Pillsbury state forest. The cabin is cozy and has everything you need and then some. There were kitchen things we brought but did not need because it was well appointed. More than ample space for two and a Lovely gift from host. The place is very clean. A nice place to stretch or yoga upstairs. Would love a curtain or two here and there but only for sleeping in purposes, there’s really no risk of folks seeing you. Sauna was lovely on a snowy evening.
