Memorial Day 2024

Was not sure what to expect when we arrived as it was our first vrbo experience. Wife couldn't believe we had the whole place to ourselves. Can't say enough good things. Any negatives would be nitpicks-i think my biggest was the binder mentioning streaming services and that seemed to mean they were downloaded for use, as opposed to a cabin account (we accessed Netflix because we don't have it normally and there was an account logged in). If it was an issue, I would have reached out, but I'm in a lake cabin for memorial day weekend, tv shouldn't be a priority. The other awesome features I missed were bird feeders and a sliding screen door. Again, nitpicks. This place defines phenomenal. Bonus points for the semi hidden Mule cups!

Snowy spring getaway

Wonderful cedar cabin with so much room! It’s as pretty as the pictures. We enjoyed a “spring” break surrounded by snow, forest, and a hot tub. We’d love to come back again in winter weather or to enjoy the lake in the summer.

Winter Anniversary

My husband I came for a quiet anniversary get a way. We loved the location and the cabin is beautiful. We were able to snowshoe on the lake and then warm up in the hot tub. The place was really cozy for the two of us, but there is so much room we could also see having our whole family there. The communication from the host was really great and prompt. We look forward to returning when there isn't snow as I can image even more options for exploring and utilizing what the property has to offer.

We had a wonderful time with the kids at this cabin! The cabin was very cozy and relaxing. The owners decorated for Christmas which was a wonderful suprise and looked beautiful. The lake was easy to access for ice fishing and snowmobile trails were nearby. We will be back!

Cabin was beautiful.

The cabin was overall beautiful. You could use the paddle boat on the lake, but not suited for swimming. The highway sounds were annoying, but after some time you ignored it. The hot tub was cool, but not cleaned out, but the owner (Ryan) was very kind and responsive with our concerns. We luckily brought our ax, there wasn’t much wood chopped for the fire pit. We had to run to town to get a pitcher and colander for basic supplies. The price we paid, we found ourselves with more minor annoyances then expected. However, overall we had a great time and tried to use all the amenities that were available.

Girls Trip at the Cabin in Caribou!

Another fun weekend in the books! We can’t say enough good things about this Vrbo. We enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boards to enjoy the beautiful Lake Caribou, had bon fires, and relaxed in the hot tub. This was my second time there and it just gets better! Highly recommend this cabin for your next vacation! The owners are incredibly helpful and responsive! Also checked out Timberwolf Inn while we were there! Amazing food and drinks!

Nature filled days at the lake

Lovely cabin with all the amenities for a peaceful 3 nights at the lake. We used kayaks and paddleboat daily to enjoy beautiful Lake Caribou. It was too chilly to swim, but we enjoyed the views from the lake top. The recent mosquito hatch made being outside a bit challenging. Despite this, with preparation and lots of spray we could sit outside and enjoy our meals. Kitchen and grill were well stocked. Well appointed living and sleeping spaces. Great stay!

Just what we were looking for

My wife and I wanted a cabin getaway for a few days without the kids to relax. This cabin was perfect. The cabin is so nice, even better than the pictures. The location is just off the highway so it’s easy to get to, but still feels remote since there aren’t really any neighbors I could see. We actually had some spring weather finally and there was good sun on the patio even with all the trees. My only complaint would be the bed in the master but bed comfort is so subjective I can’t really knock it. It seemed like a good mattress, just different than what I’m used to. Property manager reached out in advance with check in info and everything was smooth and easy.
