Tranquil Cabin Retreat with Sauna – Steps from the Holy Waters

The cabin has a lovely view of the river, which was quite dramatic in the snow. Inside, everything was clean and tidy. Having access to the laundry room to dry post-ski clothing was an added plus.

Beautiful, spotless cabin. Furniture and decor looked new and very thoughtfully put together. Supplies very organized. We had everything we needed. Didn't use the washer and dryer but there was detergent available. Perfect layout for 3 couples. We each had a room. Room with twins is actually a walk through room between the 2 bedrooms upstairs. We didn't need to use that, but would have been great for kids. Downstairs bedroom has a king bed with some serious memory foam. Felt really firm to touch, but it conforms to your body (and more so the warmer it is). You definitely need to turn the heat down at night or the people upstairs will roast (it was toasty upstairs even at 64). As noted in the instructions provided by the host, it takes some jiggling to get the sauna going. But, once it's going, it really got going! Host was very responsive and helpful. Would have made more use of the outside fire pit and dock if it wasn't in the teens and windy. Convenient location for Forbush, Hartwick Pines.

The house was great, comfy beds, clean, had everything we needed. We enjoyed the new appliances, everything was updated and we loved the outdoor space. Would definitely stay again. Great location on the Au Sable River.

The cabin is well taken care of and very clean. There were 6 of us and it was very comfortable. The owner has it well stocked for anything someone might need. The surrounding area is absolutely beautiful and very peaceful. I did give 5 stars for skiing but obviously there was no sling to be done because of the time of year. I did not want the rating for the cabin to go down.
