Warm and cozy cabin with everything we needed. Great selection of DVDs and loved the little relaxing touches like the air diffuser and salt lamp. Our daughter loved playing in the snow in the yard.

This clean, cozy place was perfect for a weekend getaway. Conveniently located adjacent to Jay Cooke State Park made access to trails for daily hikes a breeze. And communication with the owners is the best I’ve ever experienced. They were incredibly responsive and made helpful recommendations for restaurants, trails, kayak rentals and more. We’d definitely stay here again!
