Weekend getaway
My friend and I enjoyed our long weekend. Only downside was the shower situation, and if you’re tall like we are, you’re gonna have to duck through the doorways. But it was very peaceful

Beautiful
The cabin is beautiful. The location is great. It was close enough to town, but far enough away to feel private. The hot tub was great! The only complaint is that the shower is not very comfortable. Hard to make work, and very small. Otherwise great!

Loved It
This was my first time here an I will definitely be back! The only complaint was the uncomfortable furniture in the living room. The property was well kept, clean cabin, and you have plenty of privacy.
