Lovely quiet little cabin

The cabin was perfect for my boyfriend and I . We enjoyed a quiet little getaway with a view of the lake. Check in staff were super friendly and helpful, and as an added bonus we were given a little multi-spice jar to use and take home. Definitely recommend.

Old and Tired

While very close to the lake, there is nothing special about the property. Our cabin was old and stale. The bed was very uncomfortable. The kitchen had a coffee pot and no mugs! Very disappointing.

Not what I was expecting

I found the property to be very dated. The kitchen stock of dishes was really bad. There was only one spoon and the actual plates looked like they hadn't been washed. The bathroom sink was cracked and the shower leaked. I would not stay here again.

Cute but no shower

The shower didn't work, but we were already unpacked and didn't ask for another unit. The water was boiling hot, then suddenly freezing cold--back and forth. So we spent 3 days there without showers. Very disappointing

A Few Missing Amenities.

Although there was a coffee maker there were no coffee cups, & no filters. The kitchen could use another larger skillet, and a cookie sheet for baking in the oven. Also a cutting board. The bathroom & shower need some repair. When booked it was with the understanding that there was a view. (That's was a stretch)

Great place next to the lake and village!

Nice little getaway for a long week. The checkin process was easy and the location was perfect for us! Right next to the lake and about a 20min walk/5min drive to the downtown area. I wouldn’t say this is the Ritz Carlton by any means, I felt like I was kind of camping but with a bed, kitchen and toilet (that’s what we wanted). The place wasn’t sparkling clean, but it is a lodge so I wasn’t expecting a fancy hotel. If you want a nice hotel and someone to make your bed, and bring you clean towels everyday this isn’t the place for you. If you want more of an escape with camping vibes, this would be the place for you. We stayed for 7 days and were very happy with our stay.

Little pines cabin 102

The little pines cabin was perfect for a weekend getaway for my boyfriend and our dog! We loved the location and the cabin itself, only thing I would recommend is they do a better job with cleaning. Found a few hairs on the night stand next to bed, carpet looked like it hadn’t been vacuumed, also a previous guests bath towel was hanging up on the back of the bedroom door....I expect a thourough cleaning anywhere I stay especially in these times and that’s definitely not what we got at little pines. The Rec area outside on the property could of also used some cleaning up. Trash and cigarette butts all over the ground right next to a few trash cans, I get there are animals like raccoons that get in the trash overnight but maybe a few lids on the cans...also someone should come around at least once a day and pick up around there!

Cute and functional

Such a sweet little cabin with a view of the lake. It was perfect for a getaway. I wish the spa had still been available, but I realize the nights are getting cold so it had been drained.
