This was a great place to stay with a one year old! The crib, play mat, toys and books were amazing to have there and the cabin was perfect for five adults as well. Although we didn’t utilize the property to its fullest extent, the picnic benches and fire pit would have been great for s’mores, we appreciated how much space was on the inside of the cabin. Spacious rooms and large communal areas allowed the six of us to be together in any part of the cabin. We will definitely keep this place in mind for the future!
