Arrangements
Was not adequate for our situation. When stating sleeping arrangements, air beds are not beds for adults. Water leaked into cracks in logs in dining area when it rained real hard. Not enough towels. and TP. Parking was generous though.

Fun Cabin Feel to it!
We booked the Garden City Escape for a little family get away. I'm not sure you could say it sleeps 14, more like 10. It's a cozy little cabin although not as fully stocked as I thought it would be. Supplies were a little low & only 4 bath towels were provided. The internet isn't terrific if your needing to do some work but okay. Overall we had a nice little stay.

Nice place with a nice view
This place great for our first trip to bear lake. Our family had a great time. Only thing I would mention for people pulling boats is that the round about parking is on a hill so if your trailer drops down to protect your prop you might drag pretty good, my brother in law was not able to drive through for that reason so he just backed into the driveway. Our boat is a jet so we were able to pull through fine. I would also recommend adding some extra larger pots and pans. Cooking for 14 people and only having 1 large pot made us have to eat in shifts, not a terrible thing and an easy fix.

Reunion Weekend
Everything went well except for the bed on the main floor. The bed is so high it takes a step stool to get into it, the bed needs to be lowered to a sitting position level. It could be done with a little effort.

Nice place south of Garden City
My family had a great time there. We had 10 of us including family, spouses, teenagers and a grandchild. Plenty of parking. Rooms were big and nice. Kitchen area was big and well supplied. The owner/contact was great to work with, always friendly and helpful. Nice balcony with a nice view of the lake in places. Nice and shaded in the afternoon and evening. Just a few very small issues. One room upstairs did not seem to get much air so it was a bit warm. Internet was intermittent. The dvds available seemed dated for later evening entertainment, but Netflix was available and hey, it’s a cabin, right?

Amazing location, nostalgic cabin
We loved staying here! It was over Christmas, and we got our wish of a white christmas. The cabin was stocked with everything we needed. We loved the log cabin decor and vibe. It was easy to find, had very comfy beds, and was close to anything we might need. Looking forward to a return stay.

Perfect size for a big family getaway!
The 4 bedrooms were perfect for all the adults, and the kids had plenty of room to spread out on the floor on air mattresses. We enjoyed the full kitchen for all our meals and the outdoor grill for our bbq. The deck was a relaxing place to watch the stars and view of the lake. We all thought this was the perfect place for our family!

Fabulous, clean property. Beautiful location.
We visited during the winter for a snowmobiling trip. This property was perfect. Super clean, plenty of beds, and a well-stocked kitchen! The wood pellet stove was great for drying out our winter gear in between outings and taking the chill off the cabin when the wind and snow were howling outside. Our one suggestion would be for the dining area. The cabin easily sleeps 8 plus adults, but the table only fits 6 with no extra setting. We did notice tv trays that people could take their food to the other room to eat. We all wanted to sit together, play games, talk, no one wanted to be in the other room. I would suggest getting two benches for the sides of the table instead of the large chairs. It would allow a few more to sit comfortably at the table. We had some camp chairs with us and used those during our stay. One of the best rental homes we've stayed in - anywhere in the world! Thank you for sharing your cabin!
