Wonderful, warm, and beautifully decorated cabin. We made two big holiday meals and appreciated all the cooking supplies available. My son’s favorite was relaxing in the hot tub and looking up at the stars. Great place to stay!

Lovely Cabin!

We had a wonderful stay at this cabin. Everything was clean and beautiful, and the management company was so kind and helpful when I temporarily lost the key. It was also a great location close to the lake. We'd definitely stay here again.

Lovely & Peaceful!

Our stay was too short! We loved our time at the lake, our time on the back deck for breakfast & dinners and the layout of the cabin was very nice. The kitchen was large and had all the necessities for cooking at home which we enjoy doing with our family gatherings. I would highly recommend this place for small groups.

Ski trip

The house was a perfect short stay rental with all the bell and whistles. The house was decorated very cute with everything you need for cooking. The house had a hot tub, swings, horse shoes and board games to keep our 2 and 5 year old kids occupied. we went skiing and sledding at bear valley which is about a 45 minute drive

This was a great house. My only complaint is that the map feature on VRBO shows this house as on the water but it is a few streets back.
