This cute cabin exceeded our expectations in every single way possible! Somehow, the cabin, property, and lake are even better in person than in the photos! The check-in process was easy, clear communication, and everything was spotless. I absolutely cannot recommend this place enough!
Immaculate! Everything was clean and felt brand new. This was the perfect place for our group to unwind and relax after the TC Trail Running Festival. Katie really thought of everything — communication was clear, and the instructions were easy to follow throughout our stay. The house is so cute and beautifully decorated. 10/10 would recommend!
