Hi everyone,
We're excited to finally share some long-awaited upgrades, inspired directly by your thoughtful feedback from our previous post:
- Refinished original hardwood floors discovered beneath the old carpet (a beautiful surprise!)
- Improved sleep quality with a brand-new Helix hospitality mattress, pillows, and blackout curtains
- Added kitchenette including mini-fridge, microwave, Keurig coffee maker, and basic utensils
- Bathroom upgrade with new tiled floors, vanity, and a taller toilet
- Smart TV now repositioned perfectly for movie nights from bed
- Enhanced screened porch with twinkle lights and privacy curtains—perfect for peaceful evenings
One sensitive but important note on the fireplace: our recent periodic inspections revealed that several cabin chimneys needed substantial updates to ensure continued safe operation. We've already restored three wood-burning fireplaces (with two more scheduled for this Fall).
For Cabin #5, we've installed an **electric fireplace insert** as a safe and cozy mid-term solution. While we completely understand the sentimental value of the original fireplace, we're confident you'll enjoy the realistic warmth and convenience of the new electric fireplace.
To celebrate these updates, we're offering 25% off to the first five bookings for Cabin #5—new reservations only. Just use code "NEWCABIN5" when booking.

We've included some photos here as well, but can't wait for you all to see the updates in person!
Warm regards,
Andrew, Caroline, Christophe, and Lien
