The cabin was perfect! It was clean and with a great location. The downstairs shower had great water pressure. The views sitting in the hot tub or rocking chairs were breath taking. Only concern I did not read into as well before booking was the driveway. Definitely do not rent if low sitting car. And we used our 4 wheel drive suv and still scrapped the bottom. But we mastered it by the end of the stay.

I can’t say enough about the cleanliness of the place Above the rest. The person I had to call and find out a couple of things was outstanding. The food around the little town was amazing we only ate German food all weekend and liked it just because the restaurant is off the beaten path don’t mean it’s not good. Get out and explore it was amazing and we will be back.

The cabin is perfect! Great location with an easy walk to downtown (as long as you can handle the driveway up and down since it is a pretty steep hill). The cabin was very clean and the kitchen had all the amenities. We couldn't have asked for anything more awesome!

The cabin was clean. We didn’t like that kitchen and family room were on separate floors. Lamp lighting would be nice. Hot tub was great!Driveway was an issue extremely steep and difficult to turn around. So steep at driveway entrance that a SUV and a sedan bottomed out. Not ideal for seniors due to number of steps and driveway.

Nice quiet location. However, you cannot walk to nearby shops and restaurants due to the steep hill cabin is on. Also it would be nice if there was a washer/dryer.

Great town. Lovely cabin, but be prepared to walk up and down steep hill & driveway. Recommend having a 4x4 vehicle that doesnt sit low to the ground in order to successfully make it up into the driveway. Other than that, everything was beautiful!!

We decided to take one vehicle because of reviews on driveway. we drove a 4 wheel drive and still had some sliding issues with back end. hard to turn around once parked in a bigger vehicle. Overall location was great but we did drive and pay for parking because of steepness of driveway. The only other issues, We couldnt get trash can to lock and we all agreed the Bedrooms need side tables with lamps

Great cabin with a great view! Comfy beds, very clean, and a well-equipped kitchen.Town is a short walk, but driveway is VERY steep which makes the walk a little challenging.

I’m not sure I noticed if the listing had a washer and dryer, but it definitely does not, which was a little disappointing. The driveway was slippery when wet which was scary since I do not have 4 wheel drive.The staff support was excellent, and the house was private and quiet. The hot tub was a bonus for sure
