Very communicative host, very clean, beautiful and inviting cabin and everything was above an average stay from the towel softness and quality to the cozy bedding and pillows and just all the extras on the property it’s truly an amazing stay and I would recommend to anyone and will hopefully get the chance to stay again soon!
If you’re looking for a perfectly hygge winter escape, this is it. The amenities of the sauna, outdoor hot tub, wood burning fireplace and lake access were perfect. The decor and overall vibe of the cabin is truly something special. Easy and thorough communication with the hosts. This place is a dream. Thank you!
