Very clean, we loved it.
8 / 10Excellent·Oct 2025
First and foremost, it was clean, comfy cabin. Not overly private or woodsy, however.Some basic essentials were missing. There were only 5 squares of toliet paper, remote needed new batteries, and the shampoo dispenser was bone dry.It just felt like you are getting a bare bones cabin in a run down town for the price of a good hotel.
10 / 10Outstanding·Sep 2025
Very clean property, delightfully decorated particularly the out of doors. Very cute and inviting. Close to Cooks forest and many hiking trails.
6 / 10Average·Jan 2026
Overall a very nice place to stay. My husband and I were just looking to get away for the first time since having kids so we weren’t looking for anything fancy, just a quiet get away. We really enjoyed being able to take our dog and how simple it was to bring her. The cabin was very clean with the one exception being the dishes. Almost every dish I grabbed to use (coffee mugs, plate, knife) had to be washed before use because they were dirty. The queen bed was very firm, and for us, very uncomfortable. The pull out beds weren’t any better as far as comfort. One other minor complaint was the shower pressure was very poor and there was little soap. The shower had really cool soap dispensers for body wash, shampoo, and conditioner, but all were empty. We brought our own soap but I wouldn’t advertise a place as fully stocked with amenities when it’s not. One other review noted the dead batteries in the tv remote. We ran into the same issue. We liked the area and had fun hiking in the snow. The cabin did have a cozy vibe and it was really nice walking in to the electric fireplace on and a scent mister running. Brittany also answered my questions timely and thoroughly. One suggestion for the host would be to have welcome instructions in the cabin for how to run the mini split and to explain where to find the trails and activities shown in the pictures. It would have also been nice to have a bigger mat or boot tray inside the door.
