If you’re looking for the perfect base for an unforgettable vacation – this is it!

This was our favorite cabin, and it has three bedrooms, three modern bathrooms, and sleeps up to eight guests. The interior is clean, with a comfortable dining area and living space stretched across an open floor plan. We loved the well-equipped kitchen and master bedroom with a queen size bed.

It’s really a great place.

We loved the outdoor hot tub (Cedar) and the communal indoor pool open year-round. The property is close to a golf course, tennis court, beach, and picnic area.

We spent a lot of time sitting around the outdoor fire pit.

There are also great Ski areas nearby if you visit in the winter. Wisp Ski Resort is a great spot.

Check-in was quick and easy.

The entire cabin is surrounded by nature and perfect for spending quality time with your partner or family.

Here are some reasons you’ll love staying at this cabin:

• Modern amenities: We couldn’t get enough hotel-like amenities, including a swimming pool, hot tub, and fire pit.
• Outdoor activities: You can kayak in Alpine Lake, swim, or take a fun hike in the forest.
• The location: The cabin is in a quiet and secluded place, surrounded by trees. It’s close to a golf course, Alpine Lake, and even Wisp Ski Resort (for winter fun!)

The only thing you need to keep in mind is that the nearest grocery store is about half an hour away. Make sure to stock up on food and supplies on your way to the cabin.

Pros:

• Enjoy the star-filled night sky gathered around the fire pit.
• Bring your furry friend for a vacation on the lake.
• Spend the day at the indoor swimming pool – on a rainy day.
• Soak in the cedar hot tub after a day of hiking.
• Try kayaking and canoeing on the lake.

Cons:

• There is no grocery store nearby. Make sure to stock up on food.
• We found a few large spider webs in the bedrooms, but nothing major.
