Great property

Nice cabin. Next to a natural spring that people pulled up to in loud deisel trucks constantly, however. The property itself was quiet, clean, and comfortable.

Disliked: Location
Cabin was exceptionally clean and nice inside and on the limited surrounding property. The location is in a less-than-desirable neighborhood and also immediately next to a public spring water filling station that stays quite busy. A great place to stay if you want to spend most of your time indoors or just need a place to spend the night near local attractions.
