Lake access to guests will be from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend. To utilize the private lake, we require a signed document agreeing to the rules of the lake by the Association. We can either email or mail it to you whichever is most convenient. The signed document needs to be returned to us before your reservation. If we receive a complaint or are notified of inappropriate misuse of the lake, your security deposit will be forfeited. Ac unit provided Memorial Day through Labor Day. We do have a landline available at the cabin to utilize for local calling. We have provided two shovels at the property one By the front door and the other by the back door. If you were at the property during a snowstorm you would utilize the shovel to shovel off the deck. Parking We have a flat gravel driveway that you could park two average-sized vehicles on. In the winter months if it is snowing you will be required to park on the driveway and not the road. This is to ensure that the snowplow vehicles can plow the road daily around 3 PM. This might require shoveling snow on the driveway to access a parking spot. We want to make sure you don't receive a hefty ticket from the city. In the winter months, we provide a hand full of fire starter sticks to help start a fire in the woodstove. If you are not familiar with making a fire we recommend that you bring up extra kindling. That could be fire starter sticks, old magazines, or newspapers. We do not provide firewood. There are several markets and gas stations that sell bundles of wood close to the cabin. \*\*House Rules \*\* The Sweet Retreat is a sanctuary for couples, small families, and professionals seeking relaxation in a peaceful environment, we strictly do not allow more than 6 guests to spend the night.

In the winter snow months, you will need 4 wheel drive and carry chairs. All trash should be in the garbage can with a lid to ensure that animals (BEARS) do not rummage through it to find food.

Not a complaint, just be aware the backyard is a bit steep and there are a lot of steps to reach the house from the parking area, so individuals with mobility issues should consider that. ##### Christopher R.

We go in late winter and it's amazing to be able to open the door and immediately sled down the hill then run back inside once we're too cold. My favorite thing aside from the gorgeous view is sitting in front of the 2-story window and wood stove with a good book and a hot beverage. It's a wonderfully quite neighborhood and a beautiful place to stay. The cabin has all the amenities a small family needs for any season. We'll be going back! ##### Melissa S.

There's nothing more we could say, other than just go and stay there, see for yourself.... ##### Neil B.

You've thought of every detail and amenity for a perfect visit. Kitchen is stocked for cooking and serving; rooms are comfy and so pretty; TV's video games and board games were great. Super easy to find and the instructions we're easy to follow. Setting is lovely and so close to skiing Dodge Ridge! Can't wait for a return visit soon. ##### Chandra J.

Loved the proximity for a day at Pinecrest or a quick walk down to the private lake. My young boys enjoyed the private lake the most! Wonderful neighborhood for a run/walk. Perfect amount of exploring in the backyard for the kids. Downtown Twain Harte is just down the road and super cute. We will be back and thinking even for a winter trip. ##### Karie C.

Amazing view watching the snow fall from the floor-to-ceiling window. Communication with the owner was awesome, very responsive and understanding. Only concern was traversing the staircase directly outside the front door - it was completely buried in snow when it was time for us to leave, so loading the car was a challenge. But all worth it. We loved it and will go back if they have us! ##### Melissa S.

The cabin is darling and very well appointed. Gina is AMAZINGLY responsive and clear with her communication. AND when we arrived, there was a lovely bottle of wine and a custom welcome card awaiting us (photos of the cabin and Gina and Keith on/inside the card). Their card will be a definite keepsake. We chose this cabin for it's close proximity to Pinecrest Lake so we could go kayaking every day, which is just what we did. Each morning we were up and on our way, which meant we were back before it got hot and had lots of time to enjoy the house, the deck and the surrounding area. Lovely and fun get-away. Thank you Gina and Keith! ##### Jeanne C.

The location was convenient and you do have this great view of the pine forest out of those towering back windows. I have trouble with compensating my expectation on size from pictures taken with the "fish eye" lens so it was just a bit smaller than I expected. Since it was just my wife and I it was not an issue at all and admittedly that is my issue. The owners Gina and Keith were absolutely fantastic through the whole process. Very available and easy to connect with as soon as you make your booking. Best we have ever had actually. We'll be happy to book here again!! ##### Raymond F. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2020 ---
