| Happy New year 2010! We had a wonderful time in this sweet, very comfortable cozy cabin, ringing in the New year after skiing all day. We had everthing we needed, the kids had a blast and we are definitely going back! Thanks so much Dawn and Steve for sharing your cabin with us! |

Thanksgiving 2009 for 4 nights. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at your hideaway. It is even nicer than the photos indicate.
Very nice, calm environment. I can tell that there is a lot of love and caring contained within those walls.
It is also very quiet and I saw several deer that bed down in the front and side yard. Tala, my dog, got used to them on the second day. Your oven and stove work great! I made a pecan pie which came out perfect.
So, I will consider renting it again - hopefully next summer when it gets too hot down here. |

| Labor Day 2009 for 3 nights...It was all that we read and more! It was cozy and had a great log cabin feel to it. The kids just loved it, along with the adults. Thank you for sharing your home with us. This is our favorite place now in the White Mountains. As Roy would say, "Happy trails to you til next time" |

| We had a WONDERFUL time at the cabin--what an absolute treat to have so many comforts in such a relaxing spot away from home! Our two-year old did what he could to find every pine cone in the yard, and loved walking with us on the "circle" each morning and evening. It was a real nice treat for the whole family! |

I wanted to say thank you so much for sharing your beautiful cabin! The pictures online look so adorable but they do not do justice to the beauty of this home. My three children loved playing in the loft, xbox was a big hit! I enjoyed sitting on the porch with coffee in the early morning. It was so hard to leave and we look forward to coming back frequently. We also will recommend this fabulous cabin to our friends and family.
Thanks you again for opening your home to others. It was a wonderful 3 day get away.

| Spent 30 days in this delightful, cozy, comfy, clean cabin. All the creature comforts known to man/woman and cool breezes. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Lakeside and will return next summer! Great location. So close to restaurants and grocery shopping! We hated to come back to reality. |

6/22/09-6/28/09. Our family had a perfect relaxing vacation at your cabin in the mountains. We hope to return in the fall & possibly next summer!
Our 2 teen daughters loved their bedroom downstairs (with TV) along with the X-box (007 was the favorite)! We spent more time walking & biking in the area than anything else. We did manage to get out to do a little horseback riding, fishing & hiking, but the majority of the time was spent at the cabin.
We have rented many cabins in the past & can tell you that yours is absolutely the best, most comfortable we have found to date. The king beds are as comfortable as our beds at home & with 6 pillows (per bed) to choose from you can't go wrong.
Thank-you for opening your home to others, we look forward to visiting again soon! |

6/15 to 6/19/09 Jim, Mulligan (the puppy) and I returned this afternoon after a wonderful stay in your cabin. Your cabin just couldn't be nicer. We couldn't have asked for anything more. Everything we could possibly need was there. The cabin is so comfortable. We took nice walks around the area. We ate in three nights cooking on your grill. We ate all breakfasts and lunches there. We went out to dinner only one night and wished we had just cooked at your cabin. We definitely will want to return at a later date. I would love to be there in the snow. I am originally from Wisconsin, lived in NYC for quite a few years, and I miss snow!!! But we definitely will want to return to escape the Valley's summer heat!
Thanks again. We truly enjoyed our stay in your lovely cabin. |

We Loved the cabin. It was very clean and comfortable. We felt right at home. We definitely plan on going back to this beautiful rustic cabin. One of the best features I enjoyed was the master shower and if you go with your special someone you'll both enjoy it too.
Thanks Dawn & Steve for providing a beautiful & clean vacation rental.

| May 15-18, 2009 John and I wanted to say thank you again for allowing us to be a guest in your cozy cabin. We all enjoyed the peace and quiet and comfort your cabin in the woods had to offer. It was exactly what we needed as a family and time to re-connect. Loved our weekend trip! |

| We had a wonderful time! The cabin is beautiful and we felt right at home. We loved the huge firelace at night, the skylights that let in the morning sun, the movies; and the drive to go skiing wasn't too bad. We are looking forward to going back again! |

| Thank you so much for a wonderful stay. We so enjoyed the cabin and had no idea the treat we were in store for. Everything was perfect and everything we needed to enjoy our trip was there. We've rented many cabins in the past, but none have compared to this. The location is FANTASTIC and with the unexpected snow it was nice the stores were so close! Thank you again and we'll definitely be sharing this with our friends! |

| A group of my friends and I stayed at the cabin during our winter break. The cabin was unbelievable. It was comfortable in every way & felt very much like home. We went on some great walks through the property & found a great sledding spot near by. We ate in each night, which was great & took full advantage of the games, movies,& records. I most definitely recommend it for anyone & cannot wait till we can go back! |

Being originally from England and South Africa, we also had 2 guests from the UK with us. We had a wonderful time in this beautiful cabin which has been restored so perfectly! During our stay we spent most of our time snowboarding at Sunrise, where conditions were ideal; we had fresh powder on day 1 and soft snow for the remaining 4 days. On our 2nd to last day, a family of 6 deer strolled by the cabin and spent some time hanging out - very cool. Great place, good times, brilliant record collection!

| Stayed September 21-29, 2008 This was our 1st time ever renting a whole cabin and it was so worth the money compare to a tiny hotel room or even a B&B. When we pulled up and saw the rustic cottage we were very excited and it's so nice inside too. Love the king sized beds as that's all we can sleep on comfortably and the reclining couches. Being originally from NJ, it brought back great memories to be surrounded by the big green trees and actually feeling like it was autumn up there. We love to gamble and in just a few minutes found the Hon Dah Casino. We donated a few bucks one day and won it back the next night. Grumpy Jakes fish fry on Friday was good food and lots of fun, you get to throw peanut shells on the floor. My nickname is Queen so you can guess that I am picky and like only the finest stuff and this place was fit for royalty, we LOVED it very much. We hope to be back soon. |

Dear Dawn and Steve,
I can't tell you how enchanting your quaint little Hidden Forest Hideaway was. It far surpassed our expectations and your online pictures although beautiful, don't come close to the real thing. No detail has been left unattended to. Selena and I never left the cabin for three days. We watched movies, played games, played old records and mostly sat in front of that huge fabulous fireplace.
I want you to know that my girlfiend Selena is now my fiancee Selena. I proposed to her at midnight on Saturday while a roaring fire was crackling. The setting was perfect and romantic. Thank you so much for everything. We will be back for our honeymoon.

My family and I really enjoyed our stay. So comfy and enjoyable. We loved the fireplace and the kids had so much fun in the loft. I would recommend anyone to stay here and I would definitely come and stay again. A perfect place for a family getaway. We loved playing in the snow being from Phoenix, it made the holidays really great. See ya in the future. |

| Thanksgiving weekend 2008...A gem in the woods! What a wonderful way to relax - beautiful scenery - great for walks. Every amenity possible...games, movies, music, etc. Great steak dinner at the Chuck Wagoon 1800s Saloon. We will be back again - just 3 hours from home and you feel like you are in another world! |

Our family is back for our 2nd stay here as we don't think we would find a more perfect place than this and because our first experience was so outstanding. Took the girls to Sunrise for skiing, played Bingo for hours and loved cooking at home because it was snowy and cold to go out. We did venture out to the fab Chinese buffet though. Thanks again for the hospitality. We will be back, the third time is a charm. |

I love your cabin. Everything from the beautiful view of the trees sitting on the porch to the antique filled inside. The picture window allowed me to stay inside..nice, warm and dry while watching the girls have a blast playing in the rain. The sound of the rain hitting the skylights was so soothing. I have to tell you that the coffee pot works fine and the Baileys I added helped with the relaxation. ha ha We did venture into town on Sunday to a wonderful little craft fair. Had lunch at a quaint little mexican restaurant and came back for a nap. Thank you both for the opportunity to stay at your wonderful breath of fresh air. |

The cabin was FABULOUS!!!!!! Really exceeded expectations in comfort and amenities. We had such a great time and only ate out once. I was so nice to have everything we needed to cook at home especially when you have small kids with you, you don’t always want to eat out. I would definitely recommend to a friend and would like to come back again in the future. I only hope the next time there’s more snow! It was a bit warm while we were there but there was enough snow around the cabin that the little ones had fun playing and trying to make a snowman.
I wrote a little note in the coffee table book as well. Thank you so much for opening your home to us. I also used the water fountain in the bedroom and used distilled water as you said. It was really nice and helped my little guy fall asleep.
Thanks again, it really made for a great family New Year getaway.
