Everything was wonderful. We went out there for a stargazing trip, and although the immediate surroundings were not great for visibility, the dock was still a lovely place to spend time. The fans (for bugs and heat) on the dock, the fire pit/conversation area and the view were just some of the draws for the outdoor area. Note for the stargazing nerds-lights came on around us automatically, both neighbors and on the property, and stayed on all night without shields for light pollution. We were able to find an area 0.5 lower on the Bortle scale just across the lake, about a 40 minute drive. The host responded to our questions very quickly, within a minute or 2! They were also helpful when a member of our group needed help finding forgotten Cpap machine supplies. The only issue we had was the bunk beds were missing a ladder to get in the top bunk, so was unusable. Perhaps, it was there for kids only? Not sure what happened, but it didn't detract from the stay. We used the pull out sectional in the living room for our 4th adult. Lovely cabin!
