Definitely NOT 9.4

Booked this property based on the cabin feel concept, separate bedroom floor plan, and the 9.4 hotels.com rating. I don't know how the average rating of this property can be 9.4. It is nowhere close. We checked in to sub 10° outdoor temps. Inside was the same. Heat not working. Fireplace borderline unsafe with a broken flue damper stuck in open position. So no heat there either. Owner Yann put us in the "cabin" next door. I use quotes, because it was a 70s vintage mobile home that looked as though nothing had been done to it since it was built and rolled onto the property. At least here was heat. For the competitive price charged, it was most certainly NOT competitive quality. As long as you're aware of the considerable lack of upkeep and maintenance to make your choice wisely. I could go on, but everyone deserves to make a living. Just know what you're renting.

Genuinely if you’re in the area and seeking a tranquil little refuge. Look no further. Take it from a guy (me) who books everything last minute. I just happened to pick this place after a long day of hiking and traveling, only to discover how nice it was after. Clean cabins with wonderful owners. Close to everything in the nearby towns, but feels like you’re deep in the woods for a retreat. 10/10.

Very cute little chalet. Everything felt well maintained and clean upon arrival. The property was quiet and felt private. Loved that there was a fire pit right outside of our chalet. Communication with the owners and check in/out was super easy. Would love to stay there again

We booked the small "Balsam" Cabin at Wilderness Inn which is a very cozy cottage in the woods. Even if its getting colder there is a fire place and a well working heating. We felt welcome right from the start. Everything was arranged with care: matches for the fireplace, coffee capsules, sufficient towels. In addition, the location is excellent next to Whiteface Mountain and High Falls Gorge.

Stayed one night due to passing through the area. The bedrooms are tight with 2 beds in each. Good place to stay for a couple of days to tour the area. The Spruce will sleep 6 people comfortable. Would stay again for the value.

Very nice cabins with fireplace. No issues whatsoever with my stay. In the images I thought I saw an AC unit pictured but it was a furnace, no AC (in the Norway cabin at least) but 2 good fans provided.
