Location was good and stores were nearby. The cabin itself was beautiful and cozy. Really enjoyed the layout of it. The whole cabin was clean however the fridge reaked of fish and that smell made its way into everything we put in it. Also, would’ve liked to see a better equipped kitchen. Overall stay was solid aside from the smell.
