This is our second time staying here. I read some comments saying this place is run down. It’s not. It’s just older but if you like the rustic cozy camping feeling then you will love this home. They are also very great about communicating and making sure you are happy. It’s an easy check in and check out process. The hot tub is very clean and warms up nicely. The home is clean and the beds are super comfy. My hubby, my 4 year old and me slept all in one bed and had plenty of room. The blankets are nice and cozy too. The bathroom is kinda cold but there is s heater in the bedroom closet that warms it up to make it nice for taking a shower. They have a Roku tv so you can watch you tube and Netflix’s and things like that. Above all another wonderful stay! Wish we could stay longer! I love this home!

Nice cabin

Place was very quiet, cozy and cute. Was very close to other houses so not remote. Well appointed except there were no coffee filters for the coffee maker which was a bummer. Overall was a nice cabin. Only 2 minutes from town.
