We enjoyed the location and the cabin with its game room. It was great to have all the little supplies provided, such as tooth brushes, hand lotion, soaps, spices, coffee pods, etc. The host was very responsive when we had a slight issue with the fireplace, so we are happy that we rented this cabin.

This was a beautiful spacious place to enjoy with family including young ones. We will certainly love to visit it again. Unfortunately there was a power outage and no generator. Those who left at 5am in dark had some difficulty but light lamps provided by the owner were of help.

The cabin was a lot of fun,
host is very accommodating
There were plenty of supplies, towels,
tp, and even some extras in pantry if we forgot something
We had to message a couple of times with questions and she was very quick to respond. The family area is great, for card games, and meals. and the deck was nice as well.
wifi is spotty. but hey we got to play a lot of games.

Great "home away from home"
This is a very well-equipped cabin in so many detailed ways. We were pleasantly surprised to even find beach chairs for the lake! Guests should not count on a strong wi-fi connection, however, but phone service was great. I was also impressed when I received immediate communication (by text) from the owner when the power went out in the area. I would highly recommend the Big Red Cabin to others!

Weekend getaway
The stay was wonderful it was a lot nicer inside than the pictures. I was very pleasantly surprised by how cozy and homey the cabin felt. It definitely was a nice add on to have that game room. We only played once but we all felt like children. With the games we grew up playing. Would definitely stay there again! The communication with Mai was great, straightforward and polite. Overall a memorable experience

Great family cabin
This cabin was pretty awesome and great for a family! Lots of room & fully stocked. It was nice to have items in the “ extra” cabinets full of items you might have forgotten. Nice touch. Great games and movie selection. The power went out but it was nice because there were lanterns and flashlights to use.

Fun and Clean!
We were very happy with our stay at the Big Red Cabin! Easy parking, clean and welcoming. Fully equipped kitchen, washer/dryer. Comfortable temperature on all levels. Fun kid/game area. Plenty of room to spread out with 4 teenagers. Area right outside the cabin for snow play. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely be back. Thanks!

Wonderful Cabin in a great location
This cabin is well maintained and well equipped. It truly is able to comfortably sleep 14 people with 3 levels to spread out. The game room is a blast for all ages and the gas fireplace is easy to use and warms the entire cabin, even in extreme weather conditions. We will definitely return !

Clean and warm place to stay.
We appreciated the toiletry, overall supplies and pantry items and spices that were left for us to use. The Kurig was nice too. Plenty of towels and blankets were a plus for our large family. Loved the gas fire place and game room. The not so great side was that the bunk beds are spring mattresses and the sofas are too firm to relax on. Also, the outside area is too steep for the kids to sled on. Overall, it was a very nice stay and we sincerely appreciated the Christmas tree and decor.

Suggestions
Overall its a really nice place. This is not our first time renting a cabin, but there could be some improvements. Like a book with instructions on using the fireplace, TV and so in. Had to figure these things out ourselves. All adults did not really care for the beds, just way to hard. Maybe need some mattress comfort pads or whatever there called, sorry. With me having a bad back the bed was not pleasant at all. Like I said overall it is most likely the cleanest cabin overall we have ever stayed at. Oh yes. one other thing, the toilet on the main floor is very low and with nothing to hang on to when sitting down and getting up was not very pleasant for some of us. These are just suggestions. Now I would rent this cabin again. Thanks Ron...

Lovely mountain home
Our extended family all stayed at the big red barn and had a lovely stay. The kids loved the game room and the kitchen was well equipped and organized to manage all meals here between trips to Pinecrest.
The only 2 things that were a bit of a bummer were the yellow jackets that were always around the deck so we couldn’t really enjoy that space. 2 of our younger kids were bit and it was so painful for them. We purchased a yellow jacket trap but more will need to be hung to reduce the amount on the deck so it can be enjoyed.
The other thing was the wifi didn’t work, which isn’t a bad thing if you want to fully unplug, but we had family that had some work to do and had to drive to town to get service.
Other than those minor things, we had a lovely stay and will likely be back again.

Great Cabin!
The cabin was amazing. On our trip two families went and we had plenty of space. There was a variety of games and the kids really loved the game room. The cabin was even better than the pictures. It was really clean and we had no problems throughout our trip. Will definitely stay again!

Christmas in July
We used 7/8-7/10 as our Christmas 2020 celebration. We were not able to have holidays last year because of Covid, soooo... This cabin was our family time together. We had 3 couples and 5 teenagers. We slept on the top floor the kids stayed in the game room / basement & they had a ball & we could not hear a thing. This cabin is so well equipped all we needed was our food & clothing. It was record breaking heat but there were fans in every room & the fans were on non-stop. The cabin was clean & smelled fresh. There are 2Bedrooms on 3rd floor & 2 bedrooms on main floor. Basement has double bunk beds and room for sleeping bags if needed.
I highly recommend this cabin & hope to stay again next year.

Great Cabin
We had a very nice stay in this beautiful cabin in Cold Springs. The cabin is large, comfortable and very well maintained. It was nicely stocked with supplies, pantry items, and fans for the summer. The beds are very comfortable. The lower floor game room was great for spending the warm afternoons during a heat wave after coming back from the lake. The location is excellent, just a short drive to Pinecrest Lake. The owner is super responsive to communications. Highly recommended.

The red cabin
The location was great, close to the highway but not so close as to hear traffic, plenty of room for the whole gang of 12. The basement play room was especially good for the kids and adults. With a bit of shuffling and adding a second table and chairs we brought with us all 12 were able to sit down for breakfast and dinner.
The only negative comments are that no reasonable WIFI/ cell coverage especially as most of us had AT&T so 2 Verizon customers had some signals. The cell tower across the highway apparently has not been commissioned and has been there for 2 years according to a person that lent me his phone when I had to contact my daughter. The recycling was an issue as the cardboard was already almost 1/2 full and we were asked to save room for the next renters?? The plastic recycling bin had garbage in it so had to sort that out before we could use it
Otherwise we had a great time and weather was nice.

Game room was cool!
The home was comfortable for our large family and the game room was fantastic. Most well stocked rental I’ve ever seen, A+.
I did expect a larger property from the photos but there really is not any on-site sledding opportunity. The rental next door is very close and holds a large number of guests so expect it to be loud.
Be sure to not only check out of the home on time, but early because if you’re not off the street before 11am you’ll get charged. We had an infant to load and have a large family and while we did have the home vacated before 11am, we took some family photos across the street from the property and were charged a late check out. It seems extremely petty.
Otherwise we had an absolutely fantastic stay.
