We really enjoyed our stay at the cabin. It was immaculate and had everything we needed. The ambience of the log walls with the art work was so soothing. Loved the forest views out the windows. I highly recommend!
The cabin is in an excellent location in the beautiful tall pines. The pine cone theme was excellently portrayed throughout the cabin. We loved the handpainted birds and art decor, as well. It was very well furnished and stocked.
Simply amazing, when we arrived the instructions were clear and the cabin was awesome, clean and everything you need to enjoy your stay no matter how long, just bring clothes and food!
The views were amazing and there is privacy, you have your own space, and cabin the neighbors aren't to close. The weather was perfect (December), not to cold but cold enough to make a fire day/night.
The rooms were stocked with blankets, fresh sheets/pillows. The kitchen had everything you need to cook/clean/bake/eat. The cabin is just amazing. There are DVDs and Games to play. There is stores/restaurants close by, along with shopping.
It is quiet and peaceful, highly recommend and will visit again! Thank you!
Fine. Couple of suggestions:
1. Some of the doors are stiff to open and close
2. Poor choice of TVchannels e.g
few national channels. No Fox Business, no national Fox News, no Bloomberg, USA was local etc
We have stayed in this cabin before and have enjoyed the location, it is located nicely from the street and backs up to the forest. The owners are amenable to any communication needs which makes it very reassuring.
Cabin was very inviting. The only draw back is most of the restaurants were either closed or open certain days due to staffing issues. Other than that we enjoyed our stay.
The cabin is everything we wanted and was just as pictured. There was plenty of everything for the 3 of us. Easy walking, convenient to town, nice porches, and great kitchen. The only recommendation I could suggest is to have instructions for TV use as we did struggle with this a bit. I will surely rent Pine Cone Cabin in the future.
Lori and Eric's cabin is such a cozy place. It has everything needed to make the stay comfortable. I loved the heated lamps in the bathroom! The bed was comfy, one I think is a Tempur-pedic (which we stayed on), the other a spring mattress. Plenty of extra pillows, blankets and fans.
As another review stated, the windows are currently not covered all of the way, but the neighborhood feels private so it wasn't a huge deal. Though, the bedroom got a little brighter than we prefer in the morning, so we clipped a blanket to the bedroom window (and forgot to take it down before leaving 😆). Also, we were a little confused about the internet: description states there's no internet, but internet is listed in the amenities and in the guest book at the cabin. There is a router, but we couldn't actually find the router name when we tried to connect to the WiFi. Not a huge deal for us, but may want to clarify for future guests 😊
Overall, this was a great and relaxing stay and would definitely consider staying again on our next trip to the area.

About the host
Hosted by Eric and Lori Johnson
Eric and I met while on a trip and so the idea of going somewhere else to renew relationships and create memories is a big part of who we have been for over 30 years. We hope this place has that potential for our guests. Eric travels frequently for business and as a mattress manufacturer really misses his bed at home, so making sure this place had comfortable beds was a must. I grew up in the Midwest and have always hoped that my guests feel at home when they visit. We hope you find we made this place what you imagined in a log cabin.
Why they chose this property
We have been learning about and loving the Pinetop-Lakeside, White Mountain area for 10 years and LOVE the flora and fauna of the mountains that come with the cooler temperatures. We realized what a gem this area really is and how much it has to offer. The idea of a real log cabin was incredibly appealing and this one is easy to get to, yet once you are inside you are away from it all. The back yard is forest and out front you can just sit on the porch and enjoy the wind in the pines and the songs of the birds.
What makes this property unique
The log cabin was in disrepair when we bought it, but we had it worked on and then Lori lovingly worked on the cabinets, the bathroom mirrors and the decor so that guests have a true mountain experience. There are bird feeders placed around the property and seed and food in a bin so fill up the feeders and let the squirrels impress you with their beauty and the birds of many varieties sing you a song as you relax. This is a place to unwind and enjoy!
