It was a beautiful cabin and very clean. We enjoyed the location of the cabin, being secluded, but still accessible to restaurants and attractions. The wood burning fire place was cozy and just a wonderful place to relax.We did have an issue with the power to the hot tub, but the rental agency was quick to remedy the issue. You will definitely need a 4x4 vehicle with the gravel driveway into the cabin. We would definitely stay again.
