"Very nice cabin in a quiet wooded area. Went with a dog and they had a very large dog lot right in front of the cabins. Nice quaint bar across the street, and a nice park down the street with river access. Quiet, laid back weekend. "

We hope to return! 10 out of 10 all around!! "

"Great little spot right in the middle of it all. Not too close to the slopes but very convenient to the grocery store and restaurants. The friendliest staff; love Bowinkels!"
