Family Trip

We all loved and enjoyed staying at the cabin. We did have a problem with the heater upstairs but it was addressed immediately. Great customer service. The stairwell is a bit difficult to use but it is doable. With icy roads it was a bit difficult to go up the street google maps suggested. We went the long way around and it worked perfectly. It is a great cabin will definitely rent again in the future.

Weekend Getaway

The property was clean and large enough to accommodate our family of 10. The upstairs is one large room with beds lining the walls and a 2 piece restroom in the middle. The only drawback is that there is only an outside spiral staircase to access the upstairs. There is also only one bathroom with a small tub and shower for the entire property. We were disappointed in the outside area. The picture gives the illusion that there is a large front yard and there is not. Overall it was nice and the large front porch was a plus.

Good for the price

Our family was looking for a place that sleeps a large number of people and that didn’t break the bank. This place checked off both boxes. We were a little disappointed that there was no WiFi (and thus no TV) while we were there.

Family gathering

We loved our stay at this quiet place that was a perfect fit for our family. The children loved their upstairs bunkhouse where they set up their gaming system and they all fed the deer where they actually ate out of their hands. The adults loved the downstairs where we cooked large meals and all sat together at the big table in the dining room or the covered porch on the patio. Walk to the creek was a blast for all. It was an amazing place to stay and we will be back. Thank you Pam for everything.

Stay

We really loved where we stayed, but the bed were very old and very uncomfortable. For 10 of us adults one full bar was very rough but I guess didn’t pay attention to that when I booked it. Also getting to the second floor was very dangerous the spiral staircase was so narrow. I am sorry to say I would not rent this property again.

Softball tournament

The property was very neat and clean when we arrived and accommodated a men's softball team. Every player that stayed had a bed and the porch provided a relaxing atmosphere plus enjoyed the company of local deer and even got to see a female moose nearby. The guys really enjoyed their stay.

Quiet and peaceful

The property was very clean. The cabin had everything that we needed. Some issues that we had were 1) The spiral staircase was very steep for older people 2) Beds needed to be upgraded, mattresses were very soft 3) Toilet was running when we returned at the end of one of the days that we were there. At the end of the week, I would say that it was a pleasant experience.
