The host, Jerry, was very communicative and gracious even though we broke off a part of his faucet! He also allowed us a last minute change to bring our dog with us after our dog sitter dropped out last minute! The cabin is very close to the Village (walkable) and has EV charging, which is a lifesaver! We had a great time there and would love to book this cabin again. We had a large party of 6 and one dog and everyone was excited to be there!
