This cabin was perfect for us! Warm and cozy, very clean and ready for us to step in and enjoy. I had read about the fishing, so I brought along my fly rod, and was very pleasantly surprised to find the location is walking distance to a nice trout creek and a lake! If spring break was two weeks, we would have stayed longer! We’ll return someday, hopefully sooner than later. Oh, almost forgot to mention, it’s doggy friendly and has a fenced yard! It was great.

The beds were comfortable and the cabin was very comfortable and well equipped. I would definitely recommend and stay again. The neighborhood was perfect for walking around with the dogs.
