Cute cabin. Quite 'worn' but perfectly clean. Tiny shower room and basic kitchen. The bed in the loft was fun but you have to crawl up the steep stairs to access and keep in crawl position as there is no.headroom. Overall, we enjoyed the stay but as there is no breakfast provided, we thought the cabin very overpriced for what it was.
Kitchen was minimal. Lights were iffy, Sometimes they worked, but not always. Ice machine broken.
Bed comfortable.
Cabin was cute though and just fine.

A little outdated, but VERY roomy and clean. Staff was lovely and inviting. As a single woman, I felt very safe.
Clean room, kind staff, easy access, not very up to date, but good enough, we would stay again. It was raining so couldn't see property but jext time we will check out the river and get a cabin!
