THINGS TO NOTE:

We provide a snow shovel that is kept in the cabin's hallway. When you use it, it has to be returned to its spot before you leave for the next guest. If it not returned we will have to bill you for a replacement and the cost to hire the cabin staff to purchase and take it over to the cabin. It is a necessary item for guests and it causes an issue if a guest shows up and it's not there.

All items you brought with you must be removed from the refrigerator and taken home.

All dishes must be hand washed and put away before you check-out. Our cleaner does not offer this service and we will be charged an extra fee if dishes are left, so please wash your dishes.

~ Please take a look at the amentities we offer. For example, we DO NOT offer a dishwasher, but it is an installed appliance. However, it is not connected, therefore we do not list it as an amentity. It's not "broken" it is just an amentity we don't offer.

We do everything we can to be transparent so you can have a peaceful and pleasant stay. Always feel free to reach out to me to discuss any concerns or needs you may have prior to your stay.

~ This Cabin has an open loft and may not Suitable for younger children. Children are welcome but they must be supervised at all times when they are in the loft..*

~ You must carry out/take home your garbage to dispose of. We have opted to not have trash service due to wild animals getting into trash between pickups.

Okay, but no value for money

Somewhat quaint cabin with some updates. Cramped bedrooms. No WiFi provided and cellphone T-Mobile coverage is non existent in the area. No trash bags and dishwasher (they did note that in the listing) but could have provided bags and dish scrubber at least (had to go out and buy it). No soap in the bathrooms although it was listed in amenities. Overall they charge a hefty convenience fee and cleaning fee etc for no amenities.

Wonderful cozy cabin close to Dodge Ridge

A welcoming and comfortable stay! My son and I went for him to study and to take breaks from study by end of season snowboarding at Dodge Ridge. The cabin exceeded our expectations! It was comfortable and well appointed. My son had a couple of friends come up and there was plenty of room for them to stay for the night too. The first couple of days were chilly and the house heated up nicely. We also made several fires in the evening which was nice. I was able to bring my dogs and it was a comfortable place for them too. Only issue to be aware of is that (for our stay) the dishwasher was not working. Also, there is no wifi , but there is excellent cell service and we were able to get everything we needed internet wise via use of a hotspot.
