My husband, our 8 and 9 year old boys and 3 small dogs all loved this cabin! It was rustic and charming but with everything you need for a comfortable stay. It was clean and welcoming upon our arrival with cute touches like the dishtowel being tied in a bow and the ends of the rolls of toilet paper being shaped like roses! Communication with the host Nancy was excellent. She responded promptly and helpful anytime we reached out and even answered our questions about the local area like the best swimming spot for kids. The only concern we had was that our small dogs found ways out of the fence in both the small and large yard. Our dogs are all under 20 pounds with the smallest being only 10 pounds. I think the fence would be secure for a larger dog. Nancy did say she would be looking into securing the fence better but if you are traveling with little dogs, I recommend you walk the fence and watch your dog closely at first to make sure they can not get out. Still all in all we absolutely loved our stay and are already planning to come back next year!
