Wonderful place! We stayed for our yearly pool team trip and will definitely stay again! The location was far enough out to see a beautiful night sky but close enough to get to a grocery store. We loved that it was dog friendly too! The host was very friendly and thought of things that we would need for our stay such as firewood and chairs for the campfire. 100% recommend! :)
