Overall great time
My husband and I came up for our first time and really enjoyed our stay. The town was nice, the trails were amazing only complaint is the living room and one bedroom of the house were cold. We couldn’t seem to get them warm enough to use them. Need an electric fireplace or something to keep it warm and cozy.

Nice Place!
Great place close to downtown Luther! The bathroom was nice, roomy, and stocked with plenty of towels and washcloths. The kitchen does not have that much counter space but worked for what we needed. The desk area was nice and peaceful. The beds are on the smaller side for 2 adults but we made do. All in all would recommend.

Great vacation
The place was very nice. Every thing was perfect. Downtown was very convenient, restaurants and bar plus shopping. There was no dock and the rowboat was filled with water but I don’t think the pond was deep enough to row around. The wildlife was awesome on the pond. I would suggest to get a guest book so people can tell their fun and adventures. Thank you for sharing your cabin.

Family get away
This cabin was perfect for our family get away. It was clean and had everything we needed. It was bigger than I expected but otherwise just as advertised. These owners were such a pleasure to work with. We will definitely be renting here again!!

Family trip with our Great Dane
The house was as described, the only downside was in the picture it looks like you can stand on the lake shore to fish. You can, you just have to knock down the weeds as you walk. Other than that we had a great time!

Perfect for the trails!
Nice, clean and close to trails. All roads in Luther are sxs approved so it was great! Road over 200 miles of trails on our 3 day trip! No wifi was great, regular antenna channels, and peace! The view, the wildlife and the overall relaxing atmosphere made it awesome! Worth it!
