Enjoyed property. Cabin filled with very nice kitchen dishes, pots and pans, utensils. Appliances top of line. Only thing we wished for in this property was a propane fire pit on deck. But very happy with property overall. Upper bedroom mattress needs to be replaced, too soft, you sink to middle.

We really enjoyed our stay here! There were a few things we were a little down on. The pictures make it seem like it is more secluded, when there are actually cabins on all four sides. There is one window air conditioner in the upstairs bedroom, where the bed is super stiff, but sinks in the middle. The downstairs shower and sink are slow to drain.

Great Cozy Cabin

This was a great place to stay for my family. The cabin iscozy but never felt too small. Being pet friendly was a huge plus for us. The hot tub and deck were perfect for hanging out on and the deck has gates to keep your pets secured.

It was a little smaller than I thought it would be, but the property is well decorated and nice. There is a small air conditioner in the upstairs bathroom, but opening the windows in the cool evenings was really all we needed to keep it comfortable.
