The cabin was perfect for our family of 7. Plenty of beds and bathrooms, nice extra amenities like smores sticks, fire pit lighters, hot tub towels. We enjoyed the fire pit and pool table every night of our stay. Not far from the grocery and downtown only about 10 minutes. Short bumpy gravel road up but no big deal, this was one of the best most memorable stays and vacations I've had with my family!
