Perfect Little Cabin

The cabin was perfect! Beautifully set in the woods, but close enough to attractions and shopping if needed. It was neat and furnished with everything we needed, plus some sweet extra touches. We would definitely recommend and stay here again! The hosts were quick to respond to questions.

Perfect Holiday Getaway

This cabin exceeded our expectations! It was the perfect spot. The host had great communication, the property was fully equipped with everything we needed, and the layout was perfect for privacy from our two kids when needed. We 100% will be back. I was a bit nervous going into this because I am typically pretty frugal, and splurged to stay here, but this property was worth every penny.

Granny’s Cabin!

This place reminded me so much of my grandmother’s cabin in Pequot Lakes! So homey! The kitchen was great and the bed was comfy.We woke to birds and took several walks up the road.The chocolate was the perfect touch.

I hesitate to share how great this place is because I fear it will never be available again! It is AWESOME. One of the cleanest vbro's I have ever stayed in. The little touches were classy and meaningful. The bed was amazing. I could bring my dog, which is important to me. The sauna worked great and the kids loved roasting smores and being able to run around. This cute little place really deserves 5 stars.
