The cabin was brand new and spotless. The campground is still under construction with limited signage. The cabin also had very limited cooking abilities and utensils.

Very cute cabin. would be great for young families. the beds, couch, and seats for table were all too hard for these older ladies. we never turned on the tv so don't know about that. the bathroom had everything we needed. the coffee pot needed replacing as it would not work properly. we had fun and enjoyed our one night there.
