We had a great time
The cabin was cute and private and secluded on a beautiful property. It was small but had everything we needed. The hot tub was our favorite place. Everything was clean and worked. The only thing I would change is maybe a new couch it was not very comfortable (I have a bad back) and since it was the only place to sit you couldn't avoid it and the skillets are warn and everything stuck to them that we made. We managed though and had a good couples getaway!

Travel break
We spent a night to break up a long (20 hour) road trip, and the hot tub was spectacular Never saw another human, the dog got free range of the yard, so peaceful I didn’t even light a fire, just listening to the frogs lull us to sleep

Weekend getaway
We had a lovely time in the cabin. Its size is perfect for a couple. Amenities were as advertised, and the hot tub was a dream. The bed is very comfortable. Within 5 minutes of Sundance Lake. We went fishing but it was too cold to catch any. I suggest taking all your supplies, Dollar General was well stocked but extremely expensive.

Lovely Cabin in the Hills of Brown County
A wonderful relaxing stay. Everything was better than we expected . I believe 6 cars passing by was the total we counted Yor our stay. We chose that location to view the meteor shower and do some telescope work but the weather did not cooperate. Though we caught an hour window Tuesday morning at 3:00am. The string lights On the back porch went out in Monday nights rain . Tried to reset GFI but no luck. The hot tub was a big plus for us. As we have o very similar Hot Springs model at home so we are addicted, lol. The Apple turnovers were most welcome as dinner due to our late arrival. All in all it was a calm ,relaxing stay in a beautiful setting. The dog boys , 2 25 & 28 lb.mini - labradoodles, loved the big yard and the opportunity to be off leash at times. Please let us know if there were any problems Thanks Marissa!

Not to my satisfaction
All this is my fault that I didn’t see all the fees that I don’t agree to. I think that’s way too much and yes I did want to stay the fourth fifth sixth and seventh check out 11 o’clock Monday morning and that’s what I thought I was paying for and then I look at the quote, and I see the cleaning fee and the service fee and the tax fee and I just don’t agree with all the fees, I’ll probably won’t be back again thank you I have a nice day
