Reviews
Charming Cabin with a Wonderful New Year’s Stay!
Our stay at the cabin was truly enjoyable. My wife, my 10-year-old son, and I had a wonderful New Year’s Eve, just as we had planned. However, I do have a suggestion: the descent to the cabin could be better maintained. It’s quite steep, and the vehicle tends to slip near the top, which could pose a risk for inexperienced drivers. I had to reverse down the slope to gain enough momentum to make it up the hill. For reference, I was driving a Highlander, not a 4×4. Another minor concern is the parking space under the tent. Maneuvering the vehicle requires several back-and-forth adjustments due to the limited space available. Lastly, the heating was preset to 68F, which felt too cold for someone like me coming from Miami. I hope you don’t mind, but I adjusted it to 72F for comfort. Overall, it’s a charming cabin, and we had a great time!
Perfect Stay with Thoughtful Touches!
Everything was perfect. Very clean. I love the welcome bag that was on the table. I wish we could’ve stayed longer.
Fantastic Lakefront Location with Great Amenities for All
Loved the house. Fantastic location (right on Lake Petit with great view) with lots of entertainment value, including two paddle boards and kayaks available to use. We also enjoyed the peloton equipment. We would definitely enjoy staying at this place again.
