It was an excellent cabin. Remote enough to make it extremely quiet and close enough to the city to make it worthwhile.

My daughter took 5 classes at UA this summer, one of which was a minimester requiring her to be on campus 5 days a week. This was the perfect quiet, safe spot for her! We’re thankful we found it!
