We needed a place to take our dogs with and this was a nice location and a 3 bedroom home. A bath tub with jets was very nice. Nice comfortable furniture as well as a large comfy beds. Was able to talk to the host if there was any problems such as turning on the air conditioner and finding out how to get the key to the cabin. Not far from Grand Casino and not far from Tobies and other restaurants.

We visited in October and had a wonderful experience. The cabin looked exactly as shown in the photos. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed, the beds were incredibly comfortable, and our dogs absolutely loved exploring the trails. This was our second stay, and we would definitely stay again.

Excellent stay! Very relaxing property to enjoy whether that be hiking, grilling, or just cozying in and watching movies or playing games. The cabin was beautifully decorated and kitchen stocked with all the utensils and dishware you'd need. The bed and bedding were very comfortable and each bedroom has a closet. Overall, it was a great vacation!

Thoroughly enjoyed being tucked away in the woods! I had hoped to cross country ski on nearby trails while my teenagers slept, but the weather didn’t cooperate. We still all enjoyed our stay!

Although we did not spend much time here during our trip, we did enjoy this home. Very cozy. Loved the open floor plan. The bedrooms provided more than enough room to accommodate us all. Wish i could of taken advantage of the jacuzzi tub but not enough time.

Fantastic!

Everything was great! It was a perfect setup for my family (parents and kids ages 17, 19, and 21). Everybody had plenty of space and it was just so relaxing for us to get away together and "hang" for a few days. Thanks for the perfect space for a mini "family reunion" for us all to reconnect before the school year starts again!
