    So warm and inviting and clean!! So much to enjoy while there…pickleball, basketball and the fire pit to make s’mores. Wonderful front porch where we enjoyed our breakfast this morning. Great place for a family gathering.

    Perfect getaway. This large log cabin had more than enough space for our family of 11. The covered porch was ideal for morning coffee quiet time. The pickleball court made for loads of fun for all ages and a nighttime fire for s’mores and star gazing. Host was very communicative and the check in / check out process was smooth. Very clean and well kept both inside and out. Highly recommend.

    Our extended family of 8 adults thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful cabin! There was the potential of having 14 family members, and this cabin would have easily accommodated all of us. It was very clean and has very unique decor. A few notes about the kitchen--from the photos in the listing, it looks like the old fashioned stove has a very narrow opening, but it's really a standard size oven door. Also, we didn't find any cookie sheets or rectangle pans, so you'll want to bring your own if you need those. It was a very rainy day, so we didn't have the chance to explore the beautiful grounds.

    The home is spacious, clean, beautiful! They have thought of every detail. The downstairs game and play area has so much to entertain children. Space for adults in other areas. Our team learned to play pickleball on the basketball/ pickleball court. The setting is peaceful and you are surrounded by nature. Very relaxing. The host was prompt to answer, gracious and sent photos ahead of time for the entrance, parking, etc. We will tell others about this lovely home.

    A first-class property with every amenity you could need. It's a real cabin but feels like a 5-star hotel. Hosts were incredible and communications were answered in seconds. The nighttime pickleball match was something our family will remember forever!

    We were up for a reunion in Middlebury. Our family just loved the peace and quiet. The host had plenty of everything that was needed but not always provided. From an assortment of K Cups for coffee to little shampoo’s. Also silverware was plentiful along with pots, dishes, and extras! It’s a very nice location and we were Blessed to find it!

    This home fascinated all 6 of us. We kept finding more things to appreciate of the workmanship not only of the home but many items within it. The home is exceptionally well stocked if you enjoy being in the kitchen or keeping kids of all ages entertained. The setting is sooooo relaxing. The checkout process was so simple. Communications with the owner were timely and helpful, especially for this first time VRBO customer.

I was surprised how many of them came up and specifically thanked us for booking “that amazing cabin” for them. The host was so easy to communicate with and accommodating. Highly recommend!

    This house is TOP NOTCH. We will most likely make another trip to the area just because of the house. You can defiantly tell this family home is well loved and well taken care of. The little details from the instructions framed by the item, to the endless supplies in the kitchen, bathrooms, and outside activities. We LOVED the pickleball court. Lindsay was so amazingly generous to allow for an early check in and late check out due to timing of a college graduation ceremony. I personally loved the family generational photos. The perfect size for our family of 7 adults and 3 kiddos.

    My group was traveling to the area for a Notre Dame football game, and we were excited about our stay at this unique property. All of us had a great experience. The host was awesome and responded quickly to all of our questions. It was easy to see that this place is well taken care of and that you are in good hands. We truly admired the craftsmanship of this log cabin and the beautiful landscaping. I also love the story of the cabin too, what a legacy!
