Beautiful cabin in a remote location
We were here for a bachelorette party and had a wonderful time! The location was beautiful and private, but I will say that it was helpful to have four-wheel drive because of the gravel roads and steep grade. The cabin itself was perfect for what we needed.... everything was very clean and all the beds were comfy.
