I really enjoyed my stay ay bundos cabin. Everything was clean and comfortable, and the property feels very private and secluded in the woods. Outhouse was impeccably clean and didnt stink. The property appeared as stated in the pictures, and it was so nice to be able to walk around and explore the nearby forest. The bedroom area was super cozy and the bed is comfortable. Only downside is the basic shower, but I think the setuo that is there now would be totally fine on a hot day. Would definitely recommend bundos cabin!

Very Pleased

Place was well equipped for my needs. The view was pleasant and the privacy was much appreciated. The mini split heat/ air was both quiet and efficient. Cabin was clean without the smell of strong unhealthy soaps. Lots of deer paths to follow into the woods. Fire put and the yard were nice too. 😊

I booked Bundo’s Cabin for a mini “artist retreat” and it was a lovely early spring trip- the perfect balance of comfort and roughing it. I hope to be back!
