Good location too. ##### Nicole c. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mike And Anne C. Nov 27, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely cabin with amazing hosts We stayed at the Mellow Moose for the Thanksgiving holiday with friends and family. The cabin was well stocked with everything we needed. It was very clean and spacious. We had a lovely time. The one difficulty is that the Comcast service, which included internet, was not working. We booked the cabin through Cedar Creek Realty. When we contacted them they sent someone right away to see if they could try to get it working. Comcast would not come out until the following week. The cabin owners felt so bad that they paid to give us access to another cabin in the area on Saturday so we could watch our football games. They really went above and beyond to take care of us. We were so grateful. ##### Mike And Anne C. Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jim D.

The house is well kept, modern, and comfortable. Board games, foosball, and table tennis make for good family fun and memories. Location is close enough to Arnold town but far enough to feel like a get away in the woods! ##### Mayank S.
