I was looking for a place to have the family together for a “less hectic” holiday week; this cabin was perfect! Mary, the owner, was a delight to work with and patiently responded to my emails and questions; she even arranged for her caretaker to hang Christmas lights around the porch, and to place various decorations throughout the cabin. We woke up to snow on Christmas Day, and had a lovely time making a big breakfast and then playing games by the fire.
We found the village of Eagles Mere to be delightful; the residents all waved as we either walked or drove by, and we were greeting Brittany (in the town’s general store) by name on day two. We could see that Eagles Mere would be a fabulous place to visit in any season.
The cabin itself is beautiful, very spacious but warm and cozy at the same time. The kitchen is well-stocked, and everyone slept well in the comfortable beds. We never did figure out the TV system (I believe it is DVD’s-only), and there were issues with wi-fi, but frankly it was great to have everyone “disconnect” for the week and engage in books, games and outside activities (despite the freezing temperatures, we did enjoy several walks around the lake).
We had a wonderful stay, and hope to return to the area next summer. We would not hesitate to rent this cabin again!
