"Perfect! We thoroughly enjoyed our cabin! Close enough to o mothers that we felt safe but far enough to feel secluded and one with nature. We did some hiking and just relaxed! It was the perfect time to recoup!"
"I had just stayed here for my second time after I didn't love my first stay due to the uncleanliness. I was hoping it was just that one time but unfortunately it was worst my second time back. Right when I walked in I can tell the floor hasn't been swept in a while and everything was very dusty. I had wiped everything down myself and it was all brown. but my biggest problem is they don't change the bedding which was my issue the first time. There were stains on the blanket and pet and human hair and the pillow were disgusting. Once again my wife and I had to bring our own bedding."
"The trailer itself is nice. But, not far apart from other trailers. Our electricity went out before our last evening on Christmas day. We had to leave before because we have 2 little kids, the bathroom and stove didn't work because it was electric. It was raining, therefore we couldn't start the bonfire to cook. We were unattended, left without a notice on when the light was going to get fixed. Didn't check on their campers to inform on the problem nor make sure they had water or food to survive that day, but were asked not to order carry out because it will delay the time to fix the electric problem. They didn't have a backup power. It was cold. We had to drive back home late on a rainy snowy cold evening with 2 hungry kids and 2 dogs. A Christmas to remember."
"If you are like us, loving to hang around the fire pit, then this place is for you. We spent most of our time by the fire during the 4 nights we were there. We absolutely loved our stay, and thinking to make this our yearly thing. The cabin is well equipped, however they do charge for all the small things a hotel would normally provide (like tea bags, instant coffee…). I’d recommend to bring drinking water, and a lots of firewood. The site is very easy to get to, and well organized, though not as secluded as you’d think. We can hear the train near by as well as occasional siren on the road."
"It’s absolutely beautiful! Loved the room. We had a bunch of stuff and had plenty of space. The bed and pillows are super comfy. Staff was great and came quickly when needed. It’s so peaceful! Water pressure was great in the shower. Only downside is the bathroom could be very chilly- leave the bathroom door open if you need to warm it up in there."
