The hosts were extremely flexible with snow storm causing a mess, and amazing communicators the entire weekend. Driveway was plowed more often than we expected as winds caused drifts. The cabin has amazing views and I think the views of the lake without snow would be amazing. We love that our dogs could come and have a huge fenced area. We appreciated cooking in, but also enjoyed the nearby Pub and getting groceries or anything you may have forgotten from the nearby stores (don't know if we can say names, so not saying names) - meaning the location is great. There are plenty of pots and pans for what you need to cook, but bring your own spices/seasonings/foil/oil/non-stick spray (which is not a negative, just a heads up). The covered deck, which we could not use in a snowstorm, would be amazing in a non blizzard time. The basement "TV area" was awesome for our kids. Thanks for letting us enjoy your home! We truly loved it.
