Our stay at this cabin was very pleasant. The reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because we encountered a few issues during our visit. The kitchen area—which we used since we had brought everything to cook—had several small cockroaches that came out at night. I tried to clean the area a bit, but later we also saw some in the bathroom. I hope this feedback helps the host take care of the issue, as we had to store all our food in the fridge to keep it safe from bugs. There was also no hot water in the shower—only in the bathroom sink and kitchen sink. Thankfully, with the warm weather, we were still able to shower without a problem. Aside from that, the cabin is super cute and cozy! We loved the overall experience. The night sky was absolutely stunning—clear and beautiful. The cabin itself is lovely and very well-located, close to the springs and easy to find. It has everything you need to cook basic meals, and the bathroom was clean and well-stocked with soap, shampoo, conditioner, and even a hairdryer. Very clean and well-equipped!
