We stayed 3 nights and the place was great. Clean, both rooms offer Queen beds. TV in family room if you choose. We used the bbq on site and it worked flawlessly. Nice deck to sit, relax, read, etc. Lake is maybe 1/4 from the property. So you can walk or drive over.Beverly, one of the hosts who i cummicated with from start to finish was just super. Quick to respond to your questions. Will be back to this cabin again for sure. Do yourselve a favor and check this cabin out for yourself. You will be as happy as we were.Mike

Perfect Weekend Getaway

Our family stayed 3 nights and it was such a great place to stay. We came with our dog and 2 kids, ages 5 & 8. The kitchen had everything we needed, there were plenty of blankets, the fireplace was cozy, and the yard was perfect for the kids to explore. We loved the location! It was a quick drive up the mountain to take the kids sledding and we visited the big trees state park nearby. Highly recommend!
