Overall a cute place at an okay value.
PROS:
- Size and layout were perfect for our family of five
- Decor was really cute
- Kids loved the play area near the firepit
- The game area was super inviting - our family finished a game of Monopoly for the first time ever!
- Kitchen was well equipped. We cooked several meals and were able to find everything we needed.
Small Cons
- An inadequate amount of consumables were provided. We had to purchase our own coffee filters and paper towel, and quite nearly ran out of toilet paper as well.
- We also had to purchase an allergen-free laundry detergent since the one used in the cabin was making us break out in rashes just from the sheets and towels.
-The host asks guests to drive to the dump any trash that doesn't fit into the outside can - which seems reasonable until you realize that the outside can fits no more than three bags.
BIG CON: The Road
This one makes the other cons more salient. The map makes it look like this place is in town. No, it is on a mountain. The last 5-6 minutes of the drive is a twisty, turny, steep one-car path. Holy heck, we almost didn't make it up a few times. And when we met a car coming down, we had to back down until we found a place to pull into. Not at all a relaxing vacation experience. Thankfully, the weather was dry for our entire stay so we were able to get in and out successfully. But we did question whether we *actually* needed to go into town since the drive was such a pain - and I literally don't think we could have stayed here in wet weather. The worst part of all - once you finally get up to the top, you can hear highway traffic and dogs barking all day and night. The neighbors were really nice but very close by. If we had known what the road up was like, we never would have stayed here. Now, in all fairness, the host did try to send us a video of the drive up but was never able to get it to us in a format we could view. If you are comfortable or familiar with mountain driving, or have a four wheel drive vehicle, you probably won't have any issues. If you are a family from suburban Michigan in a minivan, please think twice about staying here.
