My family recently stayed here and couldn’t be any happier! The layout of the cabins is perfect. Super cute, super affordable. The fishing pond kept us entertained for hours on end, it is stocked with catch and release. Rachel was very responsive with any questions we had. We will continue to book here to add to our current memories!

It’s a one room little cabin and it has a downstairs that is also rented out. Everything was clean. The only down side was u have to go out the back door to back deck to go to the bathroom. I don’t like going outside to get to the bathroom especially at night. The was the reason we didn’t stay the second night even though it was paid for. Other than that, it’s beautiful inside and out. No communication problems.

Thank you for your review and for the kind words about the cleanliness of the cabin, the property, and our communication. We completely understand that the bathroom setup isn't everyone's cup of tea. That's why we make every effort to clearly disclose it in multiple photos with descriptions showing that the private bathroom is located just outside the back door. Many guests enjoy the unique cabin layout, while others prefer a more traditional in-room bathroom arrangement, so we try to provide as much information as possible before booking to help guests determine whether the space is a good fit for their needs. We're glad you enjoyed the cabin itself and appreciate you choosing to stay with our family-owned business. We wish you all the best in your future travels. Warmly, Laurel Lake Cabins

Very clean, smaller cabin. Perfect for an overnight stay for 2 people and our dog. Cabin was set beside a pond and had partial fencing around, especially by road side which was nice to help keep pet safe. There was a main road with decent amount of traffic. Cabin also had a rental space underneath and could sometimes hear tenant below. Bathroom is right outside of the cabin, on covered back porch. Bathroom stocked with towels and soaps. Host was wonderful, friendly and responded quickly.

We take pride in providing clean, comfortable accommodations where guests can relax, reconnect with nature, and make lasting memories. While I spend part of the year in Colorado, Corbin has always been home. My family and I personally maintain and improve the property, and we're continually working to make each cabin a place we'd be excited to stay ourselves.
