We had a great time staying at Rolling Huts during a snowy winter weekend. The location is beautiful and cross-country ski trails leave right from the property. The huts are nice looking on the outside, but have a number of quirks on the inside that you wouldn't expect from the high design exterior. We were prepared for a camping-type experience, but I can understand how someone might be disappointed if not prepared. A few things to know to help prepare yourself: 1) The huts each come with a port-a-potty (not a composting toilet) that is weirdly situated right next to the bedroom wall. Ours was clean and comfortable to use, but because of the location, there is exhaust fan in the bedroom to keep the smell out. We didn't have a smell problem, but running the exhaust fan did mean we had a hard time keeping the cabin warm during the colder nights. I would recommend bringing extra warm blankets/sleeping bags if you get cold. The toilet is also not lit, so bring a headlamp! 2) The hut is minimally equipped with supplies--think camping cabin--so you might want the following: lantern (very little light in the living room space at night), cooking supplies/camp stove (only microwave and dishware provided, no knives/cutting board/pots etc), hand sanitizer or a plan for hand-washing (there is no running water inside, just an outdoor spigot), and extra pillows/bedding for the 2nd bed if you plan to use it. However, I definitely recommend the experience if you like simplicity and views in nature! There is ample firewood provided for the stove, coffee, and a porch to watch the snow fall--a perfect winter getaway. We stayed in hut 6, which I think is the best one (furthest away from others). However, it is also furthest from the parking lot, so if you want the closest hut to your car that is hut 1. Hut 5 was nice as well--huts 2, 3, and 4 are more clustered together so these would be my last choice--though all have nice private views from the back porch.
