This cozy cabin was a perfect getaway for us. Our pup was comfortable and we had a lovely time in the clean space with a lovely lake view. It snowed while we were there and someone came to clear the property so we didn't even have to think about it. It was a great stay!

It was a lovely cabin with a beautiful lake view. It was clean and had plenty of kitchen utensils and towels available. The extreme heat advisory made it impossible for the small AC to keep up, but the host promptly sent a wonderful gentleman who brought an additional AC unit. It was much more tolerable temperature-wise after that. Overall, it was fun experience!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience, Destiny! I’m so happy you had a fun time at the cabin and enjoyed that gorgeous lake view. I’m sorry the extreme heat made it difficult to get comfortable at first, but I’m glad we could quickly bring over an additional AC unit to help. I’ll be calling you personally to learn what else we could have done to turn your stay into a full 5-star experience. We’d absolutely love to welcome you back, hopefully with much cooler weather next time! - Paula , Heirloom Vacations

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location
This property had a lovely setting, was very clean and had plenty of towels, pillows, toiletries & paper products provided. The property managers were very responsive to a potential night time plumbing issue and were very friendly. The layout with a king sized bedroom and full bath worked out great. However, the listing states the home has air conditioning. While this is technically true, the wall unit is not big enough to effectively cool the entire main floor and does not reach the second floor loft & bedroom area at all. This is compounded by notes on all the windows that you should not open them. We were there during days with highs 60-70 and by the time we returned by sundown, the home was hot & stuffy. This is obviously not a problem the owners are unfamiliar with, since there were many floor fans provided, but only really blew the hot air around if windows could not be opened. This property might be perfect during cold weather, but I would not choose to return again during spring/summer/fall.

Hi Sue, thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed review with us. We’re glad you enjoyed the beautiful setting, cleanliness, amenities, and layout of the home, and that our team was responsive when you reached out during your stay. We really appreciate you sharing that the upstairs and main living areas felt warmer than expected and that the current cooling setup didn’t provide the level of comfort you were hoping for. That feedback is helpful as we continue looking for ways to improve the guest experience. I’ll also be reaching out personally because I’d love the opportunity to learn a little more about your stay and better understand what could have made it more comfortable. Thank you again for choosing to stay with us and for sharing such thoughtful feedback. - Paula, Heirloom Vacations

Family vacay for Grandma’s Marathon

Awesome stay, so relaxing, and enough space to just hang out, grill, swim, and fish! Was a little hot in the cabin, but made it work with opening windows and running fans. Our kids are already asking to go back!

Beautiful lake to look out on. We appreciated it was dog friendly! We enjoyed the sauna and it was very close to good hiking. Comfy bed! We enjoyed our stay. It is very close to the neighbors on each side but we went while still cold out so we didn’t see anyone.
