The cabin is very comfortable — great beds and bedding. It has much of the original hardware that’s in impeccable shape. Obviously a very well loved cabin.
Such a wonderfully cozy home to weather a winter storm in! Lynette the owner was so responsive / communicative by text. We had planned on driving up to Leland snow park or Dodge Ridge (~40min away) every day but ended up playing with our daughter on the property. Sledding down the driveway in the powder and building snow sculptures was part of our blissful daily routine followed by warming up by the fireplace. Kitchen is fully equipped with anything you’d need to prepare a meal. The pilot light to the old wall heater in the living room went out on our 3rd day but there were enough space heaters and fireplace to keep things nice and toasty. Plenty of towels and blankets. Such a wonderful home away from home. +600mbps internet! Could’ve streamed entertainment to our hearts’ content but ended up watching classic family movies from their expansive DVD collection. Because of the snow we needed to park our minivan on the main road about 30 yards down the driveway. Thank goodness Lynette sent me a text to warn us before the snow hit. It wld’ve been impossible to get our car up/down in this snow. Not even 4x4 vehicles were able to handle the steep grade. Obviously this property would not recommended if it’s snowing and anyone in your party requires handicap accessibility. For us it presented a super fun opportunity to sled down to our car every day to clear snow and warm up the engine. We would come back in a heartbeat!
This cottage is great for 1-2 couples and kids. Best feature is the fireplace. Location has nice views and kitchen was well equipped. The photos are accurate and just a short drive into main part of town. Owner were very responsive to questions. We would stay again.
Good location just outside of town, plenty of food options 5-7 minute drive. Woodsy area, deer out the back window. Very clean, fully equipped kitchen. Convenient washer/dryer. Photos are accurate and up-to-date. I did not find the uphill driveway a problem at all. Prospective renters should note two items: as seen in the photos, you need to be comfortable on stairs. The traction strips def helped when wearing just socks. 2ndly, note the lack of central a/c (there is a portable a/c in the upstairs master bedroom). The temperatures hit triple-digits during my stay Aug 2022, and it was admittedly hot inside. My suggestion to the owner is more towels - one each bath towel, hand towel, and washcloth is a bit lite for a 3-day stay. But again very nice cottage, good layout, nice wood patio, flexible cancellation policy which fortunately I did not have to use.
Most unfortunately I got sick and was stuck at the cabin rather than out exploring. The cabin was pleasant and had a nice tree view, which I saw a lot of… The upstairs master bedroom where we slept had super comfy bed. Seems like a good base for exploring the area. We’d go back!
This was a great property that worked really well for our needs. We had a ski weekend plan at Dodge and this cabin was great to unwind after a ski day. It was very clean and had all the amenities we needed. Lynette was always available to answer any questions, and the instructions to get the property were really helpful. Only thing to watch out is that we only noticed after checking in was the upstairs bathroom has a tub only option that is difficult to use as an adult esp if you’re tall because of the slanted ceiling it sits under. But otherwise just perfect!
The home was very comfortable for a family getaway to the snow in Twain Harte. The owners were responsive and welcoming. We would stay again.
We enjoyed our stay and everything was very nice. Well stocked kitchen and lovely house overall.
Had a wonderful time. Enjoyed sitting out under the trees on the deck.
We loved how everything we would need was provided in this home. The kids got a kick out of washing their own dishes and they felt like they had all the space the needed in the loft. We can’t wait to return.
