We had a great stay! Very cute cabin, perfect for families and pet friendly. The driveway is a little tricky but back in and it’s much easier. There isn’t any ice maker or trays so I would recommend buying ice if needed. Otherwise everything was there and clearly labeled.

Gem of a cabin!

This cabin has it all! The rooms were spacious, the kitchen came stocked with so many items, the cabin was clean. The home is close to town and very easy to get to. This cabin felt like home away from home. I would definitely stay here again! :):):)

Great location and walkable to the lake and tennis/pickleball and golf. Nicely appointed. Great communication with manager. Thoughtful details throughout. Can't think of something they didn't have available. Even helpful notes around to explain lights or towel options. Comfortable beds. Lots of closet space but could use more drawer space in all bedrooms. Wish the front deck was more spacious and they could use new furniture on the deck as well.

Long Weekend Ski Trip

Our group has two families plus my niece and nephew, so a total of 10. The cabin is spacious and clean and cute! We just love it! We love the kitchen corner and it has all tea, coffee, and water that you need. The host even included popcorn, coffee syrup, and half and half! Very thoughtful! Communication with the host is easy and fast! Very responsive.Again, thanks for letting us stay in your cabin! We will definitely come back again. Thanks!

Can walk to lake & clay tennis courts

This property does not have a usable backyard. The front deck is small but nice for morning coffee. There are no dressers anywhere in any of the rooms for our clothes. Each room did have a closet for anything that we wanted to hang up the front entry looked like it hadn’t been swept in a few days. Need to add a cookie sheet and a cooling rack cupboards were very unorganized and hadn’t been straightened up before we arrived. Upstairs bathroom had recently been upgraded and looked very nice. Appreciated having a washer & dryer for our use. Driveway was very steep. This is not a good place to park more than 2 to 3 cars.

Everything and More!!

For our family and this trip (over thirty years of renting cabins in TwainHarte!) this cabin left no room for improvement!! Everything was clean - even windows and lamp lenses, AC worked great. My wife and I ended up with our daughter and her two year old and four year old daughters on an impromptuy stay that had to include lake priviledges. the layout was perfect -- we took the upstairs because the kidw found the kid room which could their attention on the spot. Amenities like coffees, teas, ziplock bags, food storae with lids, excellent cookweare and kid ware and even a bottled water dispenser all made for a simplem funm worry free time. We had great communcation from Katherine and Nikole, and check out onlye needed us to gather up dirty towels!! this made the labor day weekend simple and fun!! /THANKS!! ken

Problematic Start

From the beginning I had to ask for a lot of information that is usually automatic from VRBOs. I had to track down the entry code for the front door. Host forgot that VRBO did not automatically send. Also, we had different addresses to work with. Started at the wrong cabin. Once we arrived (all 12 of us) we realized there were only 8 plates and 11 utensil sets. We bought paper and plastic to use. Entry into the lake was also overlooked. Host had not informed the lake gate of our visit and we had multiple phone calls over admittance and what names and addresses to use. The cabin itself was very clean and if you don't mind not having a deck to eat on, it was fine. Also, the adult sleeping quarters on the bottom level had no door and is the entry way into the 4th bedroom.

About the host

Hosted by Nickole

Host profile image
We enjoy hosting because we want guests to feel special and cared for during their stay. Much thought is put into how guests might feel while settling in. That is why we’ve added special touches throughout the home.

Why they chose this property

We chose this home because we wanted to be tucked back into the tree lines. It gives a feeling of being in a tree house. Where quiet and beauty meets. Yet still close to all of the amenities. We found that here. We also love that the home sits within the services of public utilities.

What makes this property unique

We are super clean, we care about your comfort and we are very responsive.
