Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
A very sweet cabin. Not luxury. But. Has everything you may need. It is furnished like your great aunt Nana's summer cabin. Books and games are in the shelves. Kitchen is tiny and adequate for a cabin. You won't make a turkey dinner here, but it is all good. We will be back
