Aug 2, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice Place We enjoyed our stay everything was as expected ##### Jim A. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2020 ### 6/10 Okay #### Aurora M. Dec 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Not as advertised Cabin is much, much smaller than pictures make it look. The cabin IS surrounded by forest, but also surrounded by other cabins, which was left out of the listing. Fortunately it was so cold no one was outside, but I could see it being disappointing if you think you’re surrounded by forest, and you’re actually surrounded by a lot of other people. It was a struggle to get in touch with the host for check in information (it was not sent automatically). We had to call Vrbo and have them nudge him to reach out to us. The host was very nice once he responded, but not knowing your check in information before you’re supposed to head to your destination is stressful. Cabin was clean and cute, but so much smaller on the inside. It says it sleeps 7, but I can’t imagine 7 people fitting in there without having to be on separate floors. The ceiling in the upstairs bathroom was leaking, so it wasn’t possible to get ready in that bathroom while also staying dry. For the price it really wasn’t worth it. Overall a disappointing experience that we’d really been looking forward to. ##### Aurora M. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Gabrielle P.

We had an amazing experience renting the tree lodge at the Shire in the Woods. Michael was very helpful and easy to communicate with. They took Covid precautions and the cabin was exceptionally clean. We had an amazing time, saw a baby black bear alongside the road and a lot of wildlife. We had fun making a bonfire and grilling outside and listening to all the sounds of nature. We are already planning our next trip back. ##### Maria R. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hema M. Aug 3, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A perfect getaway from the city life A wonderful experience of the tranquility of nature. With the help of a strong mosquito repellent hiking in the woods was easier. We explored the Banning State park, boating on Lake Mille Lacs, and swimming in a nearby lake. Mike was very gracious with suggestions for places to explore. Could not have found a better way to relax especially during the covid times where we needed to maintain social distancing. Hope to explore more at my next visit. ##### Hema M.
