This was our second stay at this cabin and we can’t wait to go back. The cabin is close to everything and not too far from the casino. The cabin itself is super clean the beds are so comfortable. Cabin is large in size and very nicely decorated. The hot tub was fantastic in perfect working order. I can’t say enough about the fire pit. We sat by it every night. We didn’t see any deer this time but saw squirrels. The cabin had everything we needed inside and out. Plenty of supplies. The owners are very helpful and communication is great. Very nice people. Overall stay… A. Can’t wait to return.

Thank you so much Jamie. We love having our guests return. Y'all are always welcome to come back. FYI The metal garbage can should have deer corn in it. Just throw out about 3 scoops in a couple of places. The deer will come, We didnt see any when we were up in January. Sometimes we see them every night, sometimes we dont see them at all.

Very Spacious cabin, although we were only 2 this cabin will easily fit a large family. Cabin very clean, rooms comfortable had more than enough supplies inside and out. The hot tub was large in perfect running condition. We LOVED the fire pit. Spent many of hours around it. The s’mores station was a very cute touch. Whoever decorated the cabin thought about small details. We loved it. It was also close to many things to do. The communication with the owners was excellent. Very nice people and responsive which is a plus!!We will positively stay here again in the future.Wish we could’ve stayed longer.. but back to work.

Hi Tena, I was just wondering why we got a 4 star rating when you stated you would recommend the cabin to everyone else. What did we do wrong or could improve on that would have been the reason that you rated us 4 stars?
