My husband and I live in Chicago, and this was a perfect Thanksgiving holiday week getaway for us! We are like most people with busy day to day lives, and we wanted to be in a peaceful/quiet environment This cabin was just what we needed, and Erin (our host) could not have been more thoughtful in every detail of the cabin as well as accommodating to any need we might have before/after arrival. She lives local, which was a great comfort! There is a lot of outdoor activity to do in the area. At this time of the year though, it was pretty cold for several of the days of our stay,(which we were expecting), but we were very happy to be in the cabin itself relaxing, cooking and playing board games. There is an option that Erin offers to get several fresh local products from farmer's like eggs and vegetables, (and we did) but we also went to one of the nearest supermarkets about a 1/2 hour drive away. One of our favorite things about renting this cabin was being able to have our pooch with us. As I said, Erin has thought of everything, including what your pet may need for their stay too! We highly recommend this property for a quick getaway or a longer stay like we did :)))
