We’re a family from Texas headed to Virginia. Traveling with 2 teenagers, we wanted to shorten the 20 hours drive up, and booked a few VRBO’s along the way. This one was our favorite! Of course we love Harry Potter. Being able to relax in the hot tub was great. Clean, comfy and cozy.

Cute cabin!

No complaints except for the second floor bedroom. The door didn’t have a way to latch shut nor did it cover the whole door opening. And the bed was not comfortable at all. Other than that, it was great!
