Spacious home! The kitchen has all of the utensils necessary to eat in. There's a gas station and convenience store just a short walk away. Luckily we got to view snowfall through the lovely giant windows on Christmas morning 2025!
Location was great . One thing that was a little annoying was the tv was so loud on volume 1 if u turn it down u couldnt hear it also the beds could use some new pillows but beside that we enjoyed our stay super cozy and right down the way from town and lake

Cozy cabin, Great location
We love this place for its location to town and for the backyard when it snows the kids enjoy sledding in the back yard hill or we walk down the street to sled on near by his walking distance
This home is as described. It was clean, plenty of towels, toiletries, dishes, etc. beautiful wrap around porch with rocking bench❤️Walk to town, boat parking. We couldn’t figure out WIFi access. Two short flights of stairs to access main level but easy to access. Has washer and dryer available, along with functioning barbecue. Nice property❤️
Was a nice place. Comfortable for 6 (2 adults 4 kids 14-17). Comfortable bed in the downstairs bedroom. The kids didn’t complain about theirs so assuming upstairs was comfortable as well. I scrambled when we arrived because there wasn’t a lighter in the house to get the fire going but the heater in the dining room worked well to knock the chill off (bring your own lighter). Bring trash bags and cooking oil if you plan on using the kitchen while staying here. They supply minimal trash bags and they are too small for the trash can in the kitchen. Overall great place to stay and you could walk to town if you wanted

Place Was Filthy
The location was great and the cobin itself was not bad at all, however, the cabin was filthy. The property management company does not clean at all and there was still lipstick on cups, trash on the floors, food on the nightstand, and fresh makeup on the sheets. There were also insect bait traps everywhere so it wasnt initially safe for young kids. They also filled the soap dispensers with water which is crazy and cheap. Check-in isnt until 4pm with a 10am check-out time so you'd think the place would be clean given all of that time. Vacasa the management company is a mess.
The cabin itself is relatively clean, beds are comfy, sheets and blankets are abundant, towels are plentiful, water pressures are good, appliances work. Upon first impression, it was amazing…
But then… slight nuances started to present themselves and shift that initial impression. The top drawer in the kitchen, which holds knives, is broken, no rail guide, no stopper, the drawer pulls all the way out and will fall, which is extremely dangerous. The propane grill on the deck will hold a flame but is not working properly, the flame in the front of the grill is taller than the rest of the grill which makes for uneven cooking. Beneath the grill is an overfilled bowl of grease/oil from the grill, which looks like it has started to flow onto the beautiful deck. On the deck is a nonfunctional folding chair, sunburnt and ripped down the center.
The listing stated no ac and no WiFi. I knew that and was more than content not having those amenities. Ample amounts of fans were provided throughout the house. HOWEVER, it was warm and even hot at various times throughout the day. The weather was in the 80s during the day, I cannot imagine being inside if the weather was hotter. The tv in the living room is extremely small, 19 inches, maybe smaller.
This cabin was great! We loved the layout to the place. The kids enjoyed the huge loft / bedroom. The sofa bed in the living room area was plus. Proximity to doorabelle picnic area was a short walking distance as was all the locals stores and restaurants in town. Perfect for a small group or family.

Uncle Tom’s cabin
I love the cabin, but I was disappointed. It wasn’t equipped with pillowcases for your pillow or top sheets for your bed no trash bags for garbage and an invasion of plants but I love the property. I just wish it had all those things that I mentioned because I love the location and I slept well
The home was nice the weather was terrible.
Make sure you bring your hotspot because there is no internet.

Rustic Rest
Loved the location, clean home
Would have liked more comfortable furniture. While cute, the “love seat” is t functional since it’s so uncomfortable, so there’s a mismatch between how many the cabin sleeps vs how many it comfortably seats.
Very easy check in. Directions were slightly off. Information said turn right onto the road and the cabin is on the left. However the cabin is actually on the right. Accurate pictures and clear posted address helped . Very comfortable cabin with great location.. perfect for me n kids to use as a home base for hiking and fishing.

moldy and no privacy
Bathrooms were old and moldy, and property had zero privacy. Not really a cabin in the woods, more like a cabin in the middle of a neighborhood.

Infested with ants
The location is great! However, the ant infestation was so bad we left early. :( once we got home there were ants coming out of our luggage and my kids hair. It was not cleaned well. On the surface ti appeared clean. But crumbs in every drawer and under the cabinet lip and the carpet is dark green so you can’t see the stains as bright but very stained. The ants were also invisible on the carpet.
