The best value in Cooksburg

The cabin was very rustic and attractive. Location was excellent - just a short drive to Cook (not even 5 minutes). Jen was super attentive and pleasant. She eats and breathes customer service, way above and beyond what was required! We look forward to staying there again and would highly recommend to everyone. You would be a fool to pass this up!

Duder-vacation

We specifically picked this place, not only because of how beautiful it looked and location, but because it was truly one of the only cabins that was dog-friendly. It was everything and more! Our dog, Dude, had the time of his life, enjoying the outdoors, trail walks everyday, camp fires every night, eating plenty of campfire snacks, and sleeping on the bed with mom and dad! We loved every minute of it with him. Best vacation ever!

Well Done !

Very nice place. It accommodated our group of three couples perfectly. Great location and close to the Cooks Forest activities. Hosts were very helpful, but no problems so it was all good. Wi-Fi was limited and cell service was spotty. If that is OK or you are aware of this going in then no problem. We managed. Will definitely book again. PKP # 1096
