What guests think

Postcard Cabins Brown County, Outdoor Collection by Marriott Bonvoy offers quiet, secluded tiny-cabin stays in the woods, with simple setups, scenic views, and privacy that many guests found relaxing for a short, back-to-nature getaway.

Service is often friendly and responsive, though several reviews mention stressful or delayed entry-code communications and request clearer signage or precise GPS directions, especially for night arrivals. Cleanliness is generally praised, but a few guests reported dead bugs or indoor insects and occasional odors, and mattress comfort varies from great to too firm, soft, or sagging. Expect a minimalist, self-sufficient stay with thoughtful touches rather than full-service amenities.

Everything was great…supplied firewood, lighters and s’mores!! Very clean and comfortable. Not many/any places to eat…but if you bring your own stuff to cook/make…all is good!

I was told I would get a text message the day of check-in with the code to get into the cabin. I did not receive it. By going back through my paperwork, I found a phone number and was able to contact someone. He tried several times to get the email to go through, but it did not. Why could he not just verbally tell me the code? I don’t know but he asked for a second phone number. Fortunately, I was not alone and he was able to get it to go to my husband‘s phone. I appreciate it was a minimal cabin, but there was not a mirror in the entire cabin. Do other women not come their hair when they stay there? Do people not check themselves before they walk out the door?

Beautiful facility, the cabins are very comfortable and roomy, the bed sleeps amazing. The convenience of the fire wood and everything you need for your stay, the staff was super nice and very helpful. This was a great Birthday weekend for my wife. We will definitely be back.

Unfortunately, our cabin wasn't very clean. There were dead bugs on the table/bench and dead bugs on the loft bed (where i slept) with what looked to be very small pieces of styrofoam mixed in. It was disappointing that there wasn't a microwave.

Such a great stay!! We loved the location and the tiny house! I love that you provided all the amenities we would need, down to the s’mores! Responses were quick and informative. My only complaint was the bed was too hard for my liking, if you like a firm mattress this will be perfect for you!

It was a lovely vacation trailer! Nice attention to details, beautiful view and surroundings, and really fun to stay at. The cabin was cute and cozy with a nice little cooking area and fridge, but the mattress was a bit soft and lumpy, and we are old and had trouble climbing in and out of the bed. Younger people would have no trouble. It was a really cool experience overall even though a little less comfortable than we desired!

Well maintained cabin with good equipment and facilities and amazing views into the forest. Good privacy and very quiet. Only downside was my check-in process, which was very stressful - not designed for international visitors.

The property was nice, beautiful woods. The cabin smelled strong like dog. A pick up truck drove back and forth maybe 5 or 6 times .. don’t know if this was security- but it seemed overkill.

Be aware these are not cabins, they are trailers, much smaller than they appear in the photos. The area around them was beautiful but unfortunately the “cabin” that we were meant to stay in had bugs crawling all over the inside coming in through the big window that was the selling point. Privacy wise the neighboring cabin was visible from the windows of ours. Bugs were in the bed and when we texted the property manager they said “it’s that time of year” and offered to have someone come clean it (the last one to clean it smashed bugs into the window and you could tell they just bombed the bugs that where in there) or to move us to another cabin. When we asked for some kind of refund (we weren’t looking for a full one but something back) we were told “I’ll see what we can do” and haven’t heard anything since. Wouldn’t recommend to anyone at all unless you’re into the idea of ants gnats and whatever else that could’ve made it in there crawling on you all night.

This is my second time at the Postcard Cabins. It’s a wonderful weekend getaway option. I love the location and how quiet it is! My only suggestion is to improve the communication. I had to call the Cabin staff to get information regarding my check in process. I did not receive the code and cabin name by text message until after 4 pm.

The only 2 improvements they could make seeing the place is so well secluded/hidden away is better signage on where to turn to get there, and once the cabin is assigned give the exact GPS coordinates to where you park your car at the cabin so arriving at night, by GPS takes you to the exact spot where you are supposed to be, seeing it is exceptionally dark there at night.
