Expect the highest level of comfort in any one of the beds here; with two King bedrooms and one bunk room filled with four twin size beds. Each bed has the same luxury memory foam mattress with all season hypoallergenic duvet blankets and quilt sets for any time of year. Extra sleep option in a queen size air mattress - you can find it in it's carrying case next to the wood stove in the living room.
The kitchen is fully equipped with a coffee station stocked with individual creamers and sugar packets, tea for the non-coffee drinkers and cookware for those who just want to stay in and make memories over home cooked meals.
Brand new full size front load washer and dryer so you don't have to worry about catching up on laundry when you get home from your vacation!
The bathroom is recently renovated with a new extra deep soaking tub, and always stocked with all the toiletries you might forget when packing for your trip! So worry not, from shampoos and conditioners to toothpaste and toothbrushes; we've got you covered... at least long enough for you to be able to make a run to the local Shop N Save in Benzonia, just a 10 minute drive from the cabin.
Hang out on the wrap around deck and enjoy your morning coffee, and use the grill to barbecue by the fire pit! We keep 8 camping chairs in the laundry room closet for you to use at your leisure out by the fire, grilling tools and marshmallow roasting sticks are hanging on the hooks by the laundry room door.

Keyless entry with a smartlock deadbolt at laundry room door. Once you confirm your booking I will reach out and ask you for a four digit code that you will remember easily for your stay and then program that code for the duration of your stay!
The whole house is yours for your trip! We just ask that you please stay out of the pole barn/garage. It is not available for guests. We also have a chicken coup in the way back of the property that is no longer in use and we ask that guests stay out of the coup.
There is a closet right outside of the bathroom that we keep locked, it is our supply closet and I like to include that in this description because I think basements are creepy (especially locked ones) and I would have probably assumed that's what that door is if I didn't know it is indeed a closet. The house is on a crawl space, no basement! The closet stays locked to keep our personal belongings in while guests are staying in the cabin :) Otherwise, all other closets are accessible for you to use!
We keep a pack N play in the King room closest to the bathroom - feel free to use it if you need it for your little one! If you do use it, go ahead and leave it out so we know to clean/disinfect it before putting it back for the next guest.
We will be off site; the place is totally yours! Even though we are not on site, you are encouraged to contact us any time, with any questions or concerns throughout your stay!
We have a plow service that comes and clears the snow every 3 inches of snowfall during the Winter, so no need to worry about the up north weather locking you in!
Our property has a regular tick prevention treatment throughout Summer and Fall!
Whole house backup generator will kick on if the power ever goes out, so your stay can continue comfortably uninterrupted!
