The cabin is nice and cozy. It is pretty easy to feel at home with the cabin being fully stocked with EVERYTHING you need for you day to day. This place illuminates good vibes. The cabin even comes loaded with games. Small recommendations would be to high dust and acquire better fireplace tools.

Good stay with Family

Pretty nice cabin with very calm and nice neighborhood. My kid enjoyed a lot. The backyard is pretty huge. If you have a family with 2 or more kids, this is the one for the fun. The only thing I could say that could be improved, is the checkin process. If they change it to self-checkin, I would come here every year :)

Great cozy stay

This cabin is perfect for a small group. It's not the most modern or the fanciest but it did the job!! It sleeps 4 comfortably. The location is great too. You're near the lake and less than a 15 minute drive to Snow Summit. The house is fully stocked with extra blankets, kitchen supplies (including dish soap, sponge, extra paper towels, coffee filters), utensils, kitchen towels, etc… the bathroom is quaint but has everything you need from toiletries to extra TP and the water warms up super fast. The fireplace is small but don't let that fool you- the cabin got nice and toasty in no time. We enjoyed our stay very much. The beds were ok so don't expect temperpedic quality mattresses but after a day on the slopes we slept just fine. The only thing was the ceiling of the shower had some old critters stuck to it. Other than that it was clean and in decent condition. Would stay here again for sure.

Cute Cabin in Great Location

We had an excellent stay although all to short. The cabin is in a perfect location close to everything but in a quiet neighborhood surrounded by the lake. Super easy check in and check out process makes things very easy. Will likely be back again very soon.

Relaxing getaway

After a difficult year it was great to come to relax with my kids. The cabin was older but clean. Enough towels and trash bags given. The neighborhood was quiet and easy to get to all the low key activities we wanted to do. I would rent from here every summer

Nice Home, Except for Sleeping

This home is perfectly located in a quiet, safe neighborhood…perfect for accessing the Village, Alpine Slide and the lake. We loved the patio and yard for morning coffee, evening wine and lounging in the sun with our dog. The only issue is that the beds are all terribly old and uncomfortable. No one in our family was able to sleep soundly as the springs and uneven mattresses were very old & uneven. We would stay here again, but not before the owners replace the mattresses.

Clean and Kitschy

Excellent cabin! So cute and cozy, and VERY CLEAN. This cabin is in a great location and has a kitschy, rustic charm. Not fancy by any means, but provided an EXCELLENT weekend getaway for our family of four. The only thing missing was some sort of baking pan; we improvised, but if you plan to use the oven, make sure you have your own bakeware. Can’t wait to return!!
