About this cabin rental
On October 28, 2026 VRBO increased their fees to 12% that are not visible to guests. I've increased my prices to adjust for that change.
Welcome to Z.E.N. house, named after our children. We purchased this modern cabin for us & guests to create lasting memories.
It has 5 Bedrooms, & 2 Bathrooms & sleeps 10 with max 8 adults. Park 3 cars. It's a short walk to town & lake, plus a short drive to hike & ski.
$50/dog, max 2.
License VRR-2025-2019
The main living area upstairs is an open concept.
The living room includes an L-shaped couch in front of an enclosed gas fireplace and a 65 inch Smart TV. Apps include Netflix, Hulu, Disney Plus, Youtube/Tv, and HBO Max. It is set up to bring your own password.
In the same open area is a large dining room table with 8 chairs, and a separate desk and chair in a nook behind the staircase. Walk past the kitchen and you'll see a stacked washer and dryer and hallway bathroom with a shower.
Upstairs includes 3 bedrooms and BOTH bathrooms. Each bed uses a memory foam mattresses. First is the master with it's own full bathroom (combo shower/tub) and a Cal-King bed, dresser, and smart tv.
Bedroom 2 contains a full/double sized bed and dresser.
Bed 3 has a twin-trundle bed (2 twins on top of each other) and another dedicated office space with a desk, ergonomic chair, and a tv/monitor where you can bring your own HDMI cable to connect your laptop computer.
Head downstairs and you enter into another large living area with the 2nd of two 65 inch Smart TVs, an L-shaped couch, pool table, video arcade machine, and bedroom 4 and 5 each with queen mattresses.
You can head out back from there to the enclosed back yard with a BBQ grill and a circular spa plugged into a 110 outlet. It seats up to 6 people. A note, our spa, should be set to 104 degrees but if it's not, it heats up 1-2 degrees per hour with the top on. If it's very cold out, such as a temperature in the teens or 20s with the jets on, the spa temperature will decrease. Please make sure you check the spa on arrival to see if there are any issues.
Back upstairs is the single-car garage. The garage fits a SMALL sedan, and contains a Level 2 Tesla Charger. The driveway is paved and can fit 2-3 cars.
Vehicle Size Note: The garage accommodates vehicles 184 inches or less in length. (For reference, a Lexus NX350 fits snugly with a few inches to spare, allowing the garage door to fully close).
We do our best to keep our cabin clean and replace items that need replacing. Our cabin isn't perfect, but the day following arrival I send a message checking in seeing if everything is ok. Please let us know if something needs fixing/replacing. Sometimes we'll be able to get it fixed/replaced during your stay, but other times we'll have to do it for the next guest.

8 / 10Excellent·Jul 2026
The host was great, very nice and super at communication. The cabin was really nice and clean. My biggest issues were downstairs it smelled so badly of dog urine and there was no restroom down there. I have a sensitive nose and couldn’t sleep down there after one night. You could tell a dog had been closed up in that area as there a dog scratches behind all of the doors downstairs. I don’t know if the listing pointed out that there is no restroom downstairs or not but there is not one. If you’re sleeping down there, you have to go upstairs in the middle of the night to use the potty. Upstairs the couch was super uncomfortable. The only couch that was comfortable was downstairs where it stunk so bad of dog pee. Also the master bed mattress cover was disgusting when we pulled the sheets off the bed at checkout. It was burnt, dark yellow and gross.

Our group had an amazing experience at the house. It started with great communication from the host. Check in and out process was smooth. The house was as stated in listing and has everything you need in the kitchen! Very spacious and great location. Convienently located close to the village, lake, slide park and bowling. Great place for families. Would highly recommend staying at this house!
