This cute little cabin was extremely clean, and cozy. However, if you have a 6’4 husband like mine the bathroom shower entrance is a little small, but totally okay. Just maybe worth mentioning to future tall guests, doorways are slightly shorter than average. But definitely not a deal breaker. The river out the front door was the absolute topper.
