Reviews

• Pristine Lake Stinson

  5/5

  My husband and I had a really good time! Our cabin was set back a bit so it was very quiet and peaceful. John was super nice ! And generous with his lake toys. Great place to reconnect. Would love to visit again!

• Cozy, Smelly Cabin

  3/5

  The Good:

  The location is beautiful. You have a great view of the lake and mountains from the cabin. We loved having the firepit just outside our cabin as well. The owners were very friendly. The shower stall is very small, but has nice hot water with good pressure. Bring your own toiletries.

  The Not-So-Good:

  The cabin had a very funky smell. We ran a diffuser throughout our stay to try to mask it, but it didn't really help much. The kitchen area and fridge in particular smelled pretty bad. We saw a mouse a few times during our weekend so we kept all our food well sealed and in cabinets as much as possible. The beds are very very uncomfortable. One of them was so bad that my teenage son chose to sleep on the couch instead. It basically feels like springs wrapped in fabric.

  Bring your own sponge and dish soap. There were some used sponges when we arrived, but we went out to get our own as well as some more dish soap. The kitchen doesn't have much if you plan on cooking. The owners said we could walk over to ask to borrow anything we needed. We borrowed a couple of things which they were very nice about, but I would have preferred to just bring my own. There isn't even a decent set of knives or scissors to use.

  There were plenty of towels, but once wet they all smelled of mildew.

  We really enjoyed our stay, but just be aware that it is a no frills place. Bring air freshener. No tv here, bring your own.

• Nice location across road from lake

  3/5

  East facing location across road from the lake. Good selection of toys, including 2 kayaks, 2 paddle boats, SUP and rowboat.

  The two bedroom cottage sits back on the property and is definitely rustic. Lots of deferred maintenance on older cottage. Floors have quite a bit of tilt as building must be settling on the south side. Both bedrooms have full size beds with ancient mattresses. Some kitchen items missing. We could not find an ice cream scoop or cover for one of the pots. Ultra thin toilet tissue in bath. Lots of chairs outside but only two lounge chairs.

• Great cabin, relaxing weekend

  5/5

  Nice, affordably priced getaway. All the amenities in the world as far as lake life goes. My family of 5 had a great time.

• Cute getaway

  5/5

  The cottage was cute and definitely all that we needed for our time being! Weather is about 10 degrees cooler than you think due to elevation. It was great to have the paddle boats and kayaks be included! Definitely recommend
