"This cabin was perfect in every way. The pictures online are beautiful but it’s even more beautiful in person. It’s clean, spacious, peaceful and had everything I needed plus more. I also love the location, not too far from the grocery store. The view of Douglas Lake from the cabin is breathtaking. Avada provided excellent customer service. I will definitely be back soon."

"Although it’s not impossible to go up with a regular car I would highly recommend you having an SUV because the road up to the cabin is very narrow and steep. There was plenty of room for my group and the cabin was beautiful. When we first arrived the hot tub wasn’t warmed up so I would suggest you check if you’re planning to use it that night. We loved that there were plenty of kitchen items readily available. Nonetheless we had a nice stay and everything was nice and clean."
