We were a group of eight, including four adults and four teenagers. The owner reached out with check-in details prior to check in, which was appreciated. The kitchen was well equipped and had all the basics for a cooked meal in. The Stone Lake area also has some great bars in town, which are also a nice option for food and drinks. We stayed in the winter and fortunately the weather cooperated as we were able to spend lots of time outdoors. Otherwise, with a group of eight, this cabin could be a tight squeeze. There was a great space downstairs to hang out and watch movies, which helped with space. A couple things to consider are that one of the bedrooms is lofted, and while private, does not allow for people to sleep in if others are awake. Also, there is no garbage service and they ask that you take your garbage to a dump, located nearby. There is a small fee and the dump is only open three days per week. Not a huge issue for us, but could be for others. Overall, the cabin was cute, cozy and very clean. We love the area as it is wooded and relatively quiet for the Hayward area. We had a great weekend.
