We had a short 3 night stay but I was fabulous! The owner was very polite and welcoming. He also gave us our privacy. The cabin is stocked with pretty much everything you need except food and personables. This made packing so easy. Ver clean and comfortable. Would definitely recommend and stay again!

It was everything we were told it would be. Nothing was overlooked, the cabin had everything needed for a home away from home. Great place, will probably come again.
