The yard was in closed so the kids could play in the snow outside - the place was so clean and the perfect size for our family - the only thing to keep in mind was you have to bring your own sheets and towels but that wasn't a big deal for us. We would recommend!!
It was a great little cottage. And I appreciated that it was cozy especially at night. Didnât really need covers with the heater. We were a little drive from the lake but it was close enough.
Thank you Bryan for sharing your little cozy cabin. The pictures perfectly show this beautiful home away from home. Cozy, quaint & a peaceful setting. Bryan is an excellent host, couldnât ask for a nicer one. Will definitely be back.
My family and I were very impressed by this cabin. It was clean, well stocked, and had the feel of home. If you enjoy the quiet mountain lifestyle, this cabin is for you. We came up for 4th of July fireworks at the lake, but didn't want to be in town where it is much busier. There is a nearby general store for any supplies you might need. I look forward to returning in the future
So, this place isn't on a lake, or a village, but it is charming. It has a lot of space outside for playing and the road that it is on gets you right onto hiking trails.
The kitchen was well organized and we found we weren't short of anything that we were told to bring for ourselves.
What a wonderful place. While it is on the smaller side, it is very nice and well kept. Bryan was very attentive to our communication.
Apart from breaking my arm up at Summit, it was a wonderful stay! We will absolutely be back next year.
It was perfect for us. Very cozy cabin. The communication was fantastic. I was reminded of everything I needed to bring so that I didnât forget. We had a very good time snowboarding during the day and playing games in the evening.
CONS:
- no linens provided (it says on VRBO but doesnât seem to say so on Orbitz so be prepared. We missed that info and were caught off guard)
- very poor wifi (owner said nobodyâs had problems before but we couldnât even reliably read online, let alone stream movies)
- slow reaction-time by owner to calls/emails (& dismissive when he did respond)
- worst of all was the âfireplaceâ, which is just a digital screen with rocks in front that light up when turned on (fireplace implies fire, as in actual flames). For a fake fireplace, it was decent, but we expected a real fireplace (and had searched Orbitz with that as our primary filter).
We feel very misled bc I feel like the photos on Orbitz when we booked our trip showed a real fireplace but current pix do not (& I canât say for certain that the pix I saw were different). However, we still feel misled as itâs not clear on the Orbitz site that this is not a completely fake fireplace (the photos arenât clear and thereâs nothing in the description to indicate itâs digital).
This cabin should NOT be advertised as having a fireplace. Again âfireplaceâ implies fire, which means actual flames. We definitely would not have booked this cabin if we knew what the âfireplaceâ was.
PROS:
- cute, clean cabin
- nice neighborhood w good restaurant nearby
- near hikes & trails
- some games & small # of DVDs
- spaced out property (not on top of neighbors)
- bedrooms on opposite ends of cabin
This place was lovely. My expectations based on the pictures, instructions, where so low. Just to come with a suburban packed with everything I thought I needed. I donât know it people have been leaving things or if the owners updated everything but I barely required anything that was listed. It was beyond beautiful, full of snow, plenty of space for my husband and my 2 boys. We had an amazing stay and I was just in awe. I loved the homie feel, just adorable. I took pics but Iâm not sure if I can post.
This is our second stay here and we just love the coziness feel here. The inside of the home is clean and love the decor. We cooked and used the outside grill while kids played outside and inside with board games so much fun! Definitely will be back.
The National Forest is located at the top of the street with several trails you can hike and picnic on. I personally enjoy the easy hike to the worlds largest lodge pole pine. Just make sure you remember where you started. I have several board games if you like.
