Fantastic week at Tulipwood 3

Tulipwood 3 was a fantastic cabin. It was cozy and comfortable. Spotless. Probably the most well stocked with supplies than other places we have stayed. Decorated as if out of HGTV. Area has a lot to offer and the Area Guide that was provided was extremely helpful in planning our itinerary. Communication before and during our stay was great. Had a fantastic week hiking and therefore the hot tub was well used. And enjoyed just sitting on the front porch in the evening. One of the top places we have stayed at over the past 15 + years. Definitely a 5+ experience.

Attractive and modern accommodations, very clean with all the amenities you would need for a weekend get-away. Since I struggle with back pain, the apex for me was the water therapy in the jacuzzi tub on the deck. The heat and jets were instrumental in my pain relief. I appreciate the fact that the owners invested in a quality product. I highly recommend this cabin, it was a positive experience, two thumbs up.

The cabin was perfect! Has all the amenities you need!! The decor was fabulous! It definitely is a cabin in the woods. It was a very peaceful getaway. Which is what I wanted. Hiking trail right in the back of the property. Giant city state park is close by with lots of hiking trails. So I hiked during the day and sat in the hot tub. It was a perfect ending to the day. Plenty of firewood to have a fire in the evening too. Saw a deer in back of the cabin and I haven’t seen so many stars in a long time. All and all if you need to escape and just get away this is a wonderful place to do just that!
