With 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and plenty of space indoors and out, you’ll have no problem finding room for everyone to relax.

We had a nice time at this cabin; the living spaces are spacious and so is the kitchen (though there is quite a bit of miscellaneous items taking up counterspace). The kitchen tool selection was good, including 2 citrus juicers and a meat thermometer. Many cabinets were labeled so items were easy to find. The stock of paper supplies, batteries, etc was very much appreciated! And there was quite a selection of cleaning supplies as well. They even stocked bottled water, a Culligan water fountain and ice!
I couldn't find mention in the description, but there is a small gas grill in addition to the charcoal grill, which was perfect for us.
Generally the cabin was very clean.
The only draw back, which for us was significant, is that the entire hillside is unkept and growing prairie style which is not reflected in the pictures. We had selected this house for the fully fenced yard to let our dog run around, but the long grass and plants, and likelihood of ticks and other insects this time of year, held us back from letting her roam off leash. If the full lawn was mowed, I would have rated 5 stars.
From the owner: "I’m very glad you enjoyed many things about the house. The idea with the yard is to leave the native grasses and wildflowers untouched in part of the yard. The lower area will be mowed. I’m very sorry that didn’t work well for you. You left the house in great shape. Thank you for staying."
We have a group of ladies that have been girl's weekends for many years. We truly enjoyed our stay this year. The house was clean and cozy. The fresh flowers were beautiful. We utilized the hot tub, sauna, kayaks and paddle boat! We had 6 in our group this year and there was plenty of space for all of us. Thank you so much - we may be back again soon!
