Thank you ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Beverly S. 27 Dec 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication #### Fun at the Mackay Everyone enjoyed the pool table, pinball and other bar games. Great entertaining areas. Large enough for the family to gather in the same room. Plenty of beds for the group of 8 that stayed. Kitchen nicely equipped. Floors are very uneven. Ceiling leaked in a couple of spots when the snow turned to rain. Definitely, more good than bad. We would consider this option again. ##### Beverly S.

We are a family of four with adult children and one of their friends, and this was a great place to hang out and spend time together. The bar room offers pool, pinball and a jukebox, and corn hole was a hit for the beautiful backyard. Very cozy and unique weekend retreat. ##### Lynette S. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carlie A. 18 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Our new favorite place! Six of us stayed here for our annual girl's weekend away. This was our first time at this cabin and it's a clear winner. The jukebox was awesome (plays via bluetooth) and we were up late each night playing pool, pinball, jenga, yahtzee, and ring toss... all which were provided! The house was spacious beyond belief! We never felt cramped or crowded. The furniture is comfortable and in good shape. Even the patio furniture was nice and clean. We enjoyed the firepit as well. And firewood was provided. There's a small creek running through the backyard, which made sitting out even more relaxing. The house had ample heating so we weren't cold, even during the October nights. Overall, we could not have enjoyed our stay more! It's the first place we've been that everyone agreed was sure to be a repeat trip. It's a very unique, comfortable, inviting, fun place to stay. We're already excited about going again next year. So if you're contemplating going to this cabin... just book it! You'll looove it! The one and only issue we had was the mice kept us up at night scurrying around. So light sleepers, bring a sound machine. But other than that it's literally PERFECT! ##### Carlie A.

The rustic nature of the house and surrounding woods were perfect for a weekend stay in beautiful Eagles Mere. There is plenty of room inside and out. We probably could have stayed a week so we could explore the surroundings. A very cool place to stay! ##### Susan H.

Our dogs ran all around outside and loved the stream so much. The two bedrooms on the main floor were super convenient because one of our dogs cannot do stairs and my dad has a bad ankle so not doing stairs was much easier for them both. My niece and nephew (and brothers) loved the pool table and the pinball machine. The fire pit was such a huge hit and it was big enough we could all fit around it - not to mention the firewood was provided!!! So awesome!!! The house has a great separation for people who want to sit in the kitchen and talk while others are in the tavern playing games. We had so much fun here, made some great memories and would love to come stay here again for the next family reunion we have!! ##### Hannah F.

The place had a lot of charm! Great place for a family!! ##### bill r. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maura K. 22 Jun 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Relaxing get-a-way with fun amenities! The "town that time forgot" is the local phrase and it is accurate! Such a quaint area and the property was everything we hoped for and more! The large game room was the highlight as we gathered for fun and laughter (which was great when it rained!). With 9 people stirring about, we never felt cramped and there were plenty of bathrooms. The beachfront is 1.4 mile walk and we did it twice because the walk was so peaceful. Wifi was great, although we had no cell service. We didn't mind, but could not make/receive calls with Verizon. The place was clean and provided plenty of kitchenware, linens and amenities. LOVED this place! ##### Maura K. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### George S. 16 Apr 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A total hit – highly recommend Everything was exactly as described. Quaint, cozy. The perfect place for a getaway with just enough of the modern amenities to keep everyone happy. Tons of space, a little broke in the backyard. Awesome deck and a great fire pit. Close the world in which is great for hiking. You couldn’t get any better. ##### George S.

Everything we could have needed was provided. The house was just a short walk from town and, more importantly, the ice cream shop! Such a beautiful area. We will have to come back sometime in the summer to see the lake area in full swing. ##### Blake B.

The deer in the back yard was an unexpected pleasure! The only thing we feel could have been better is there should have been firewood available for the fire ring. ##### Connie K. ### 8/10 Good #### Brian V. 3 Aug 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Good times Good times were had by all of us who got away for the weekend.
