Snow weekend
My family and I stayed at this pinecrest retreat during our snow trip. It was clean, cozy, and comfortable. The stairs were interesting to navigate with a 2 year old toddler and two older grandparents, but it was doable. Heating consists of wall units and a fireplace. It was walking distance to Leland snowplay. No wifi was refreshing as it allowed us to unplug and spend quality time together. There were plenty of movies available for us to watch. The renters were very responsive and even helped us switch travel dates as there was a snow storm on our original travel dates. We are extremely grateful for their flexibility and hospitality. We created forever memories.

Very cozy.
Great, cozy place for a little getaway. No wifi or cell service, but that's not necessarily a bad thing :)

Great location and wonderful hosts
We really enjoyed our stay, the cabin was clean and had almost everything we needed (minus Wi Fi) but the condo was just a short walk to Leland Meadows play area. It was so much fun for our family and our pups.

Hidden Gem
This property is a hidden gem. Tucked away in a quiet community. There are plenty of things to do on the property. Tennis, pickle ball, ping pong, pool. There are paddle boards, paddle boat, canoe and floatie available at the water. I was worried about not having cable or wifi but it actually worked out great. Everyone unplugged and put their phones down. If you want to check out Pine Crest lake it is not far from the house.

Got Away and Reconnected
This was a nice get away to reconnect with nature and my family. It was nice having no cell service and have the chance to read or play board games without distractions. This property was picked because of its proximity to Pinecrest Lake, one of our favorite places to visit. It was so nice to be able to bring our dogs with us (Ripley loved playing with Tipsy!) Everything was clean and orderly. The private lake on site was perfect for introducing our 1 year old daughter to the water in a more intimate and safer setting than Pinecrest. The amenities were perfect for our family!

Nice location but needs updating
We traveled as a family with 3 children, ages 6 mos, a 3 1/2 year old and a 7 year old. Pros: property was clean and well stocked, nice deck with gas grill, washer/dryer, a short walk to the beach/lake access, beautiful scenery, paddle boards and pedal boats at the lake front for anyone to use, close to Pinecrest Cons: entire property is dated and could use updating, the screen doors were broken and kept falling off the track, downstairs window wouldn’t open properly, NO a/c (it was extremely hot at night and we had trouble sleeping, especially the baby), no fans other than a ceiling fan in the main living area and one in the loft. It would’ve been nice to have some portable fans in each room for extra air flow especially since there is no AC. The downstairs bed was very lumpy and uncomfortable. All of the bed pillows were pancake flat and should be replaced. I wouldn’t recommend for families with a crawler or new walker. There isn’t a ton of space for them to roam and several hazards (stairs going up the loft and stairs going down to the other bedrooms), elevated fireplace surround.

Response from VrboOwner on 27 Jul 2023
Hi Alicia, we always appreciate hearing from our guests, but the homeowner would like to take a moment to clarify a few things raised in your review: “Dear Alicia, glad you enjoyed the beauty of the area, including using the paddle boards and pedal boats on our private lake steps away. We really value your feedback about the pillows and bedding, it’s the first we heard of it, but have just ordered replacements, thank you. We are coming up this weekend and will take a look at the screen door. Sounds like it was unseasonably warm the time you were there. AC is not a common amenity in most cabins in our area because it tends to not get uncomfortably hot, but with weather patterns changing your recommendation for fans is an excellent one that we will add. Thank you again for providing us with this helpful information.”

Great location and overall nice cabin!
My family and I had a great stay. The cabin was perfect for our family of 4. We enjoyed playing in the snow at Leland Meadows and had great fishing in Pinecrest.

Cosy Stay
What a gorgeous chalet. Close to Dodge Ridge for skiing and warm, cosy lounge with fire for après-ski. We had the most wonderful stay. It was fabulous for a family of four and lack of cell and wifi was great to reconnect w teens. Thoroughly recommend.

What a great trip
We had such a great time on our vacation. The house provided plenty of room for our family of 5 and our 6th member, the dog. We were all more than comfortable. The house was clean and easily accessible for packing and unpacking. The neighborhood is quiet and we LOVED the lake. It was such a win to have access to it within steps of our backdoor. We used the paddleboards, paddle boats, the rec room and fished all in what seemed like the backyard. We would definitely stay here again. The owner is also very easy to get a hold of and responds super quick. We would definitely recommend this place to our friends and family.

Great location for spring snow trip
Would have been perfect, except living,dining,kitchen areas small for our group of 4 adults plus kids. But we knew this from house description, so can’t complain. Heating options confusing. Owners very responsive and had plumbers up quickly when we had water heater problem. We had a great time.
