We loved our stay here, the cabin was clean and spacious. The driveway goes up into the woods so there's complete privacy! We enjoyed lounging by the firepit and using the Sauna since the weather was cooler while we stayed. All the furniture is nice and comfortable. There were plenty of amenities, shampoo, dishwasher detergent, toilet paper, laundry detergent, etc. 5 stars all around!! ##### Rebekah P. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lindsey W. Oct 3, 2022 #### The best spot! We loved staying at the Lazy Lumberjack Cabin!
