The host was extremely organized and sent me several messages ahead of time with all the info I needed for my stay. The place was super clean, tastefully decorated, and furnished with everything I needed for my short stay. I had my dog with me, and she had a nice yard area out front to stretch her legs. I was just passing through for one night but would love to come back for a getaway weekend with my husband to enjoy more what the property and surrounding area have to offer.

The loft with the second bed in it hadn't been attended to. There were live spiders and webs in the corners of the loft. My children were too scared to sleep up there so it make living arrangements pretty uncomfortable. Also, my daughter and I both had to remove ticks from our skin. Please take care of bug situation!

Cute and cozy vibes

We absolutely loved our stay at the Yellow Door Cabin! The space was modern, clean, and so thoughtfully designed—it had such a cute and cozy vibe. Tucked away in a peaceful country setting, it offered the most beautiful sunsets each evening. The location couldn’t have been more perfect—close to incredible wineries and delicious local cuisine, yet quiet enough to truly relax. It was the kind of place that makes you want to slow down and soak it all in. I would definitely stay again!

Nice setting. Not too far from Ferne Clyffe, which was where we wanted to go. Nice size kitchen and bathroom, with good water pressure. Good WiFi. Cabin could have been cleaner. Loft was dusty with a dirty Kleenex on the floor. We had to wash the dishes before we used them. Back deck smelled strongly of mildew, so we couldn’t sit out there.

The Stay

We really enjoyed our time at the cabin. Although it wasn’t fairly big, it contained most of the necessary amenities we needed. The view at the fire pit was excellent as the sun set. There were many insects inside, but it didn’t really bother us. We cooked a lot so a dishwasher would be very helpful. The water of the shower head was extremely small and it took us lots of time to finish the shower. Overall we enjoyed our stay and we hope this review will help.

Quiet and relaxing stay!

The tiny cabin had everything we needed for a short 2 night stay in the Lake of Egypt area. Not far from the property is the Cross Eyed Bear for good food and drinks, but with a great kitchen set up with a grill, you might not need to or want to go out to eat. Beautiful hiking is about a 15 min drive away, and you’re also about 20-30 minutes from picturesque wineries. Loved our stay, and we will have to be back!
