Cozy and convenient

We had a group of 7 for a side by side trip. It was a great location to get to the trails. Adequate room for our 2 trucks and trailers. Would have been nice to be able to use the garage in case it rained, but we got lucky and it didn’t rain much. We did have an issue with the upstairs shower but texted them right away and they were very prompt and polite in the response and maintenance came out right away. Which is awesome. Kitchen was stocked with everything you could need and beds were comfortable. The only downside is I wish the upstairs furniture was more functional for a big group, also the deck furniture. If we would have had 12 it would have been difficult to all hang out together. Even at 7 it was kind of awkward. But overall it give it two thumbs up. Highly recommend if you are looking for something cozy and convenient. Or if you are looking for an area if you want some separation within your group, such as you have kids that want their own space!

Amazing!

We had a great time at the cabin, it was spacious and the whole place had tons of things to accommodate us. The only thing we had trouble with was running the TV to find a football game we wanted to watch. It was great weekend spending time with family!

NO hot water

The cabin and yhe location were great. When we arrived we noticed we had no hot water, contacted property manager and she sent someone out the next day while we gone. Came back that evening and hot water worked for about half of the group to get warm showers. Next morning however only a couple got warm showers the rest were cold. We just figured that it was the amount of people trying to shower was the problem. Came back that night and the water was 40 degrees at best. Contacted manager again and she sent someone out again as we were leaving the property and said yhe heater was clogged again and the heater would not work. Hope to hear from the manager soon.
