The cabin was a delightful place to stay with our kids and 2 small dogs. We appreciated finding coffee for the mornings and also some bug spray for the Little Grand Canyon hike. When we had questions, the host was responsive and friendly as well. We would definitely book again!

Great location

This is a great place to stay if you want to visit Giant City State Park and surrounding area. The house has a small indoor gathering area but the deck is spacious and the hot tub and view of the moon over the golf course were wonderful.

Great location, cleanliness, and communication. Loved the hot tub after hiking. Would definitely stay again. Kitchen is well-supplied with utensils, appliances, and essential needs (salt, pepper, spices), but bring any condiments or other pantry essentials you will need. This location does not have many of these items that sometimes are provided or left by previous guests. Not a criticism, because I don't expect that such items will always be available, just an FYI for future guests.
