We had a wonderful stay at this place! Everything about the cabin was great — clean, cozy, and exactly as described. The location was perfect and the overall experience was very comfortable and relaxing.I had read a previous review mentioning that the upstairs rooms could be cold, but that was not our experience at all. There were plenty of heaters provided, and the upstairs room was warm and very comfortable throughout our stay.We truly enjoyed our time here and would absolutely stay again. Highly recommended!

Great communication with the owner. Location is walkable to BB Lake, dog park, park, and some food places. The kitchen is perfect & the living room is huge! So comfortable for 4-5 people. Our frenchie loved it. Upstairs are the two small bedrooms. The extra details the owners put into this cabin are unmatched. The piano, gas fireplace, clean coffee makers!🩵CJ & Family

Very nice, everything was very clean, I liked the kitchen and the living room a lot. The only thing missing was heaters in the bedrooms, they were very cold, but everything else was impressive.
