    This was a beautiful home with everything we needed for our stay. The host even had a Christmas tree set up for us, as we were there over the holidays. We loved the hot tub and access to the club house.

    Very nice property, clean ,quiet well supplied for whatever you want to do , driveway description is accurate (very steep) for anyone that brings a trailer. You probably will not get the trailer into the driveway must be unhooked somewhere else. But overall very good experience. Great location for anywhere you want to travel to in the hills.

    The cabin was lovely and comfortable. The neighborhood was quiet. We saw deer in the yard several times. It was a wonderful place to stay.

    The Little Badger lodge was clean, and welcoming with plenty of space for a big family to be entertained. One recommendation is the beds are high, and those that are vertically challenged had a hard time getting into the beds. My recommendation is to provide a stool for the higher beds so it’s easier. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely rent again. Communication was also an A+ throughout our stay!
