We absolutely loved our stay at the cabin! It was everything we needed and wanted to just get away and relax. We can not wait to come back when it's warmer and enjoy the outdoors more!
From the owner: "Katrina, we are so glad that you loved your relaxing getaway! We look forward to welcoming you back when it's warmer! Hopefully, you will be able to utilize the kayaks, paddle boards, bicycles, outdoor movie projector, hammock, and/or other amenities, and experience local outdoor attractions which are plentiful."
The cabin was cute and decorated well. The refrigerator had an air freshener in it that was not for a fridge which caused some of our food to taste like chemicals and ultimately had to be thrown out. There was also no trash can in the home which was a minor inconvenience. The location was quiet but didn’t feel as private or secluded as we expected. The area itself before arriving at the cabin is a little rough. Overall there were a lot of thoughtful amenities and the cabin was cozy.

From the owner:
"Hi Kayla, our most sincere apologies for the fridge issue! We struggled with eliminating an odor that didn't seem to respond to cleaners, so the deodorizer was brand new before your stay and, I'm sure, very intense! Also, we have a pull-out trash can to the left of the sink to eliminate clutter in the house, which doesn't make itself very obvious.
Thank you for the compliments on the decor. We are disappointed that we fell short of your expectations of seclusion. Being the first house on the street in a small 6-house neighborhood, we designed the outdoor spaces on the side with no neighbors, built the hot tub deck way up the hill with privacy panels, and added sheer curtains on the front porch, all in the best attempt for privacy."
Nice place but was very cold outside and didn’t get to enjoy hot tub

From the owner: "Thank you for the nice review! I'm sorry you were unable to enjoy the hot tub! Just to share, we have 2 large heaters in the gazebo mounted above the hot tub, with remote controls, very large towels, and robes-- to try and make that a warmer winter experience. Hope you'll have a chance to re-visit when the weather is more cooperative!"
Overall the place was nice to stay at. Loved the hot tub and the place was furnished very nicely. The lake was in walking distance, but we wanted to fish so had to drive car with all of our equipment. And there was really no bank to fish from but you couldn't tell that from the picture. Probably this place is suited for a younger couple or more adventurous older couple.
Hi Michelle, thank you for your thoughtful review. We're so glad to hear you enjoyed the hot tub and appreciated the furnishings!
-We’re sorry that accessing the lake with fishing gear was a bit of a challenge. To make things easier, the homeowner is purchasing a new collapsible cart that converts to a bench, which will help guests transport equipment down to the lake and provide a spot to sit while fishing.
-Since lake access can vary based on the season and water level, we’re also preparing maps that show access points and terrain types, so future guests have a clearer idea of the options available.
Thank you again for your helpful feedback, and we’re glad you enjoyed your stay overall. We hope to welcome you back in the future!
