Our stay at Martin Ridge was great this past weekend. The cabin offered plenty of fun with the terrific game room downstairs. The kitchen was well stocked which allowed us to cook breakfast and dinner. Lunch was spent at The Snowshoe Brewery, which is less than 5 minutes away. The deck area out back offered us plenty of space to relax in Adirondack chairs ( a couple were missing a slat or two, no big deal ) while taking in the great view. Maybe one safety issue that we noticed is a rail was out of the deck fencing and just laying down on the deck. Not an issue unless you had a young child there. We didn't. Not much to downgrade on overall. Just a couple of minor things. We couldn't get the gas fireplace downstairs in the game room to work. When we called the property management group, they didn't know how to either. The upstairs gas fireplace was awesome. It was run by remote control. Not sure if the downstairs one was too. Once we started moving around down there, it warmed up by our own body heat. No big deal except when one of our group members went to sleep down there at night in the fold out couch. He said it was pretty chilly. The Master Bedroom was super nice. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was beyond nice ( the toilet handle was just a little loose. It felt like it was going to come off). Minor problem. The second bathroom was nice as well. The fourth bedroom (which had its own bathroom) was a little odd as you had to get to it by either going through the garage or from a separate entrance from outside. Very secluded and a little cold but If you needed a room for someone who goes to bed earlier than the rest of your group, this is perfect. We had that person. There was a grocery store super close that was very close to the cabin. It had everything we needed to supply meals for our trip. Great entertaining area upstairs with a lovely, large table that easily sat 8. Our group of 8 watched football Saturday night on the big screen TV ( The downstairs game room also has 2 big screen TV's). There was plenty of room for all of us to sit on the comfortable couches and chair. Overall, it's hard to downgrade this place on anything other than a few minor cosmetic issues or inconveniences. We were very satisfied with our stay and would definitely go again!
Thanks, Martin Ridge!
