There’s a Reason This Place Has Good Ratings!!

We stayed here for a bachelorette party and could not be happier with our stay!! The property is absolutely beautiful and cozy. Brian and Singrid were amazing hosts and kept communication very open and as frequent as needed! It’s a small town but we didn’t need much. We recommend the Knot Hole Bar nearby, order a Johnny Vegas and tell them we sent you! We loved the hot tub and the hosts kept the home very well stocked with towels and toiletries. We are so thankful. The one thing we all kept saying the whole weekend was “we HAVE to come back and stay here!!” Book this house, you will NOT regret it!

Great place to spend time with Friends!

Great property! Stayed here with a group of old college friends (we graduated 35 years ago). Nice common areas to sit and talk, play cards, watch movies, and enjoy each others' company. Nice large property giving us each our own beds. We definitely will be back in a future year.

Great house for multiple families

Had a great stay. No real complaints about the property itself. The only issue to be aware about concerns the location. There are a few restaurants and shops nearish but grocery is about 20-30 minutes away and other main towns with activities like movies, bowling, waterpark are mostly about an hour away. This becomes much less of an issue if it’s summer time and there isn’t 2 feet of snow outside that limits kid activities

Beautiful serene, clean lodge

A group of us 8 ladies stayed for a Womens Winter Weekend. The lodge was the perfect size, allowing even a cozy-comfy bed for each. It's so accommodating for a group, yet it feels so cozy. the outdoor setting was so peaceful. We loved the outdoor hot-tub.

Another warm family gathering

A fantastic stay with family cooking and baking together in an open concept kitchen/dining/family area where we could all spread out comfortably and still be together in the same space. Each could retire for the day to their own room, kick back with a movie and video games downstairs in the theater…relax with bubbles and your own music in a large hot tub just outside, and grills at the ready for chicken, steak, and more. The wraparound porch provided uncanny views and plenty of family selfie opportunities. Would def vacay here again!

#1 Cabin in the North.

This is our 4th year at this Cabin and it never disappoints. The property is exceptionally maintained, and provisioned; you don’t have to bring anything but your food. In addition every year there is a new improvement that is made to the property to add comfort, convenience or reliability. Don’t skip over this one, if it’s available book it.
