If you’re looking for a perfectly hygge winter escape, this is it. The amenities of the sauna, outdoor hot tub, wood burning fireplace and lake access were perfect. The decor and overall vibe of the cabin is truly something special. Easy and thorough communication with the hosts. This place is a dream. Thank you!
