The location was beautiful and convenient for our family. Wonderful wildlife to watch. The week long stay would have been much more enjoyable without receiving text messages daily from the host. Our family follows the rules and is very clean… While communication is important, the multitude of what to do/what not to do notes around the cabin, including clipped on the curtains, in the silverware drawer, etc…)was over the top. We have rented many vacation rentals and host our own, with great ratings always; we have never had a host request our home address to send a packet to prior. VRBO’s policy suggests to always communicate through the app. While the cabin is nice and location very convenient, the experience with the host was irritating. ##### Tabitha B.

The home is in a very beautiful setting and extreamly clean and organized. I have stayed in numerous vacation rentals and this is hands down one of the best. ##### Megan L.

The owners left detailed notes so you didn’t have to wonder about anything. Then came a snow storm for 2 days and we literally felt as if we were in a beautiful snow globe. It was wonderful. The owners even braved the weather to walk over and check on us. Wolfgang and Kathleen are the ideal host, attentive and caring. Wolfgang even cleared the drive for us to get out. This is a wonderful location to everything and we already plan to return next year. ##### robin p. Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2021
