Great weekend getaway

This was a good stay, I would love to return as it was a great location for ATV trail access, and a cozy place to come back to for the night. I would recommend a good deep cleaning in this cabin, as there is a cleaning fee within the rate but many dead bugs found in areas of the cabin, and what looked to be mold growing between a couple of the windows. Also the sheets looked like they had not been changed from previous visitors but we brought blankets to throw on over so not a big deal. However the bathroom/shower house was clean and very comfortable to use. Overall we were satisfied with our stay, just wanted to throw in suggestions for future visits!

Perfect place in a convenient location

We arrived in the evening and had a couple questions about the place. Katie was quick to call and discuss things. The cabin itself is cozy and had plenty of fans and AC to keep us cool after long days of adventuring. Neighbors were quiet which was nice. We had everything we needed. Would recommend!

Great little cabin

Inside of the cabin was great. The living room area is larger than it looks in the pictures. The dogs loved having room to run around and we didn’t run into any while there (preferable). Bathroom could use some work, but it’s functional and did everything we needed.

Great getaway in the woods

This little house in the woods had so much rustic charm and character. It had everything we needed and then some. Some of the pictures are out dated, as there is now a deck on the front of the property, and we never needed to use the outhouse. Owners were prompt with response, and were very accommodating to our needs. Would 200% stay here again!

Cozy, comfortable cabin.

The location is great for us visiting relatives at a nearby campground. I am kind of scared to use the bathroom in the dark by myself. That and the front blinds and screen door in disrepair are really the only downsides. They have literally everything you might need.

Perfect for trail riding

We all enjoyed our stay, we will be back in the future for sure. It's right off the atv trails and we could sit by a fire at night which is much better than being stuck in a hotel room.

Peaceful getaway

If you are looking for a quiet little place off the beaten path with access to beautiful state parks and thousands of acres of state forest land - this is the place for you. It was cold when we here (low 40s for highs). Saturday we hiked several miles and the cabin was a treat to come back to - warm, cozy and comfortable. The general store just a couple blocks away will have what you need. The local tavern was full when we tried to go there (meat raffle).

Perfect cozy stay! Even better for the dogs bc there is plenty of room for them to wander.

Everything you need! If not, there is the convenience of a store and a restaurant literally right down the driveway! We will stay again!

Rustic, cozy, quiet guesthouse

Great stay!

We had a wonderful stay at the cabin. It is absolutely adorable and had everything we needed for the weekend. There were even some pleasant surprises that weren't in the listing such as Wi-Fi, and a small window AC. The only reason this isn't a full five stars would be things that may not bother some people. The bed is very very firm and we had a difficult time sleeping, consider bringing a sleeping bag or extra blankets for some padding. Also, don't forget the bottled water. While the water is perfectly safe to drink, it is full of iron and not a taste we enjoy. Do not let the staining from the iron dissuade you from enjoying the full property. The note in the bathroom explains the staining you will notice in the toilet and shower. Everything appeared clean and it was truly a beautiful property and we enjoyed our stay. The best part was being able to bring our dog to enjoy the weekend with us. So thankful we had that option.

Grose and not well kept

When Looking at the listing, I thought this would be a great place to take my bride for our one-year anniversary. unfortunately, the house (both inside and outside) was a bit of a mess. There were crumbs on the counter, dust on the window sills, and the outside looked dilapidated. This didn't bother us at first until we went into the bathroom, in the separate building, and found that its shower was yellow and looked like it has ever been properly cleaned. Looking at this, we did not know if we could trust the rest of the estate, so we left. We never stayed so we are wanting a refund.

Quiet getaway in a nice small town

We had a great time at our getaway! The area is beautiful and very peaceful without getting to isolated. The locals are very friendly and the Duquette general store and Wild Horse Tavern were perfect for what we needed during our stay. Our family cabin doesn’t having running water or electricity so this was quite the upgrade while still being very rustic. Highly recommend!
