    It didn’t trouble me that the drinking water was dispensed from a 20litre bottle and tasted fine but the tap water definitely had a bad smell to it. We hadn’t gotten I’ll from the water 24 hours after showering and brushing our teeth with it. We were informed to NOT drink the tap water but not informed why.

    The remote location was a plus for me. However we didn’t bring enough supplies for the overnight stay and had to drive 25kms back to Blue Lake for food. The rustic cabin was small inside but cosy. The bed was comfortable and we enjoyed a good nights sleep. The horn noise from passing trains was a bit sad as it detracted from the remote setting, but not too much of a problem. The host was very friendly and helpful. There was a eclectic mix of old, bespoke and new fittings which was interesting.

    Train is passing by really close and honking loud. Didn't bother us too much but it's a noteable thing.

    Beautiful place in the forest. The host was super nice and helpful. The cabin got everything you need with a perfect kitchen. Bring bug spray, tons of mosquitos, but with bug spray it's okay.

    Having a central water filtration system with water softner would be nice as they are using well water. Also, can add some swings or kids play area so they small kids can spend their times. The dogs were very playful so my son had nice time playing with it, especially Zeek!

    Location, it truly is a wilderness retreat. The host Micky and her super friendly dog are the highlights of our stay.

    Others have pointed it out: the train was really loud but this didn't disturb me or impact my overall experience.

    The location was stunning, and the hosts (and dogs) were very kind.

    The owner was so helpful upon arrival, she drove us to the nearby spring to get drinking water and told us so much about the property and the land surrounding it. The cabin was cozy and perfect for our trip, it does get quite hot in there especially in the heatwave but everything else was just wonderful.

    We had the cabin closest to the train tracks and the biggest issue for us was the noise and the vibrations. The last train passed around 12am and the first one around 6am so we were able to sleep during this time frame.

    The property was beautiful and we loved the dogs.

    The nearby trains would blast their horns at the crossing and it was quite loud.

    The cabin was in great shape, clean and comfortable and the kitchen worked well for me to cook dinner.

    It wa a 50m walk to the toilet/shower in pitch black - no lights or path - very scary - helped with the torch from an iphone. The taps in our room were not working. Advertised as a "wilderness retreat" but only about 400m from the highway and close to a trainline with horns blasting at least every hour during the night.

    The cabin was cute, comfortable and clean. A great deal of cooking appliances were provided. The satellite tv worked. As there were no lights - the stars were magnificent.

    A place with potential, but currently in disrepair.

    • Solo traveler
    • Budget Double Room - Hunter's Cabin
    • Stayed 1 night

    The drinking water containers were too large (10 gallons? standard for a water cooler), but were not connected to any dispenser and so the water they contained was inaccessible. The non-potable water to kitchen sink was not connected. Was greeted and helped by guests who were friends of the property owners, but didn't have answers to some questions. Never met the property owners. Bathroom and shower facilities were 50 yards from the cabin and were not clean and not fully in working order. Toilet flushed poorly. Lighting was not working.

    The interior of the cabin was clean and comfortable and the woodwork and furnishings were outstanding. Complements to the housekeeping and to the craftsmen who built the cabin

    No screens, cabin full of mosquitoes along with train noise only slept one hour. No care on how the cabin was slapped together. Expected a toilet for a cabin that rents for $90 a night. The outhouse doesn't have a seat and the door doesn't shut. Neither does the outdoor flush toilet with the sink that didn't work.

    Nice location in the mountains
