About the host
Hosted by Jennifer Schroeder
Cabin 8 Retreats is named after "Cabin 8." This was the numbered cabin where I always stayed as a child in a nearby (now closed) resort. I decided to purchase and rent out this cabin as a tribute to the memories that I have there. I want to help others build and create lasting, meaningful memories that will linger for a lifetime. Cabins are a way to escape our everyday life and leave our worries behind. It is my goal to provide that perfect getaway for you and your family.
Why they chose this property
This cabin is the perfect hybrid between a private escape and a resort experience. While there is plenty of privacy and seclusion, there are also shared resort amenities and a wonderful sense of community.
What makes this property unique
Our goal is to offer all of the little things to make your vacation absolutely perfect. A stay at Cabin 8 Retreats includes coffee, games, puzzles, yard games, grill, fireplaces, winter sleds, books, and so many other amenities. We are constantly adding new items to help your stay turn into the perfect, unforgettable experience. Please ask about anything in specific you might be wanting for your stay!
