Wonderful cabin on water
We were so impressed by the lovely setting, beautiful cabin & fabulous hospitality!! Loved the coffee bar, snack basket, & cold water. We were totally surprised when we opened frig- beverages, fresh ingredients for breakfast! It was a delight to find fresh strawberries. The only negative was VRBO not giving us wifi info nor letting me respond to message when owners responded to my question.
