Beautiful and serene getaway ❤️
What a beautiful property! Ashlee was a great host and answered all of my questions. She had the wood stove going, so we arrived to a nice warm cabin (and even made sure my dog had pillows to lay on!) She met us briefly to ensure we found our way to the cabin and to make sure we were comfortable operating the wood stove and power pack. I left the front porch with my skis on and had endless trails to explore. Deer, moose, and rabbit tracks all over. The stars at night were amazing. This was a perfect cozy winter getaway. Looking forward to spending a weekend here during the fall months for some hunting on nearby public lands!

Cozy Snowy Cabin
With pets
Ashlee was an awesome host and the cabin was lovely. It’s little, but well organized and has everything you need. The sleeping nook is cozy. The area and trails are beautiful, especially covered in snow. We saw fresh moose tracks and scat on the trail! My dog loved staying warm by the wood stove.
