This cabin was truly exceptional! As a host, Melissa was thoughtful and checked in with us, yet was never intrusive. Every aspect of the space reflected an impressive level of care. Melissa and Mary put an incredible amount of thought into everything-even the intricate, small touches had clearly been carefully planned. The attention to detail was exceptional and had been carefully considered to create a comfortable, welcoming experience. It was warm, inviting and incredibly cozy!The cabin was fully stocked with everything you could possibly need and more, which made our stay effortless and relaxing. From the thoughtful layout (like adding 2 mini fridges under the coffee bar) to the little details you don't always realize you need until they're there (like a lint brush-lol), nothing was overlooked! It was the perfect snuggly winter retreat, and we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay! We will absolutely return (hopefully in the summer next time)!

This house is fantastic!! It is beautiful, the view is gorgeous, the dock for fishing is great, the beds are comfortable, the game/ play area in the basement was so much fun and is a great place to hang out, and the owners have gone above and beyond providing everything you could possibly need! There are so many little touches that make your stay easy and relaxing. They have little signs everywhere explaining how things work (which is so very helpful in a rental home), they provide blankets for the campfire, campfire supplies, tons of gaming equipment, cozy blankets for the living room, and so many other things! The hot tub was very clean and worked well. We travel multiple times a year and have stayed at a lot of vacation homes and this host was by far one of the best to work with and one of the best at providing everything you could need! We highly recommended this home!
