Absolutely charming and cozy
The cabin is just as described. It was perfectly charming and cozy. The hot tub was awesome. The folks running the place went above and beyond to make our stay wonderful. We will definitely recommend it to our friends and family, and if we ever need lodgings in that area you better believe this is too of the list

Cute Cozy Cabin in Fall!!
We really enjoyed our stay at Hansel and Gretel. The cabin is super cute with a nice front porch complete with a rocking chair and love seat, and also 2 balconies. The cabin was clean, and the reservations and confirmation were easy. We enjoyed a campfire, and the view with the fall leaves was so pretty. The hot tub was the perfect size for two people after a day of hiking at Hemlock Cliffs and Yellow Birch Ravine. We also had fun exploring the property; walking the grounds to the pond and playing horseshoes and cornhole. We loved our little Fall vacation and look forward to going back to White Oaks Cabins in the future!

Cutest little cabin
We had a great time at the cabin. It was secluded and we barely saw another person, but lots of deer. The cabin had a notebbok with past guest, which was a nice touch. The bugs were not bad, but the hot August sun was present, bring sunscreen. The cabin did have a chair with a bad leg, which my partner found without injury. The hot did stop turning on, but after watching a short YouTube video, it was easy to reset, and worked for the rest of the trip.

The cabin itself was just okay. I won't return.
The renting process was a little misleading as far as cost. The cabin was dirty. We would not use the shower, it had someone elses hairS in it, the bathroom sink still had someone elses spit from brushing teeth or whatever. The beds were like bricks. Around back was completely covered with poison ivy . There was still (hopefull) just food spill to prior renters too. Still i was charged a cleaning fee, but no one did any cleaning and only left 1 garbage bag or 2 day stay. We ended up leaving early and just could not wait to get back home. The lake was beautiful!! Cabin needs some attention!!!!!!!!!!!
