Just a beautiful spot! The cabin is very new and clean. It had everything we needed for a weekend getaway. The private wood fire sauna is the best! Very friendly and helpful hosts.

Hosts went above and beyond, would definitely stay here again. Our pets were treated with kindness and everything they do is with dogs in mind.

The host was extremely helpful despite the fact we arrived later in the evening due to poor travel conditions.

The sauna and fire pit were amazing. It did feel fairly secluded too which was surprising, given the close proximity to campers and the other hard top. All the workers were so nice and so helpful. They took the time to go above and beyond once they found out we were on our honeymoon. Only complaint was the bed was really hard lol

Pet-friendly, cozy cabin with a river view and wood-fired sauna. The place was comfortable and the sauna was a definite highlight. Wifi was advertised but didn't seem to work in the cabin though. Management was very helpful when they were around (found us a plug for our EV) but no responses after hours. Their gate entry system stopped working for us and we had to wait for another guest to let us in to the grounds.

We really enjoyed our stay. A couple of items to make it even better: only one stool for the window bar. Two would have made it usable. When weather is cooler, it is not easy eating indoors. A folding table and chairs would have helped. We were unable to play cards or games indoors. A cutting knife and cutting board would have been good too. We enjoyed the sauna, the BBQ was excellent, staff were top notch, friendly and helpful. The place was quite well stocked. The view was amazing. Thanks.
