Family Getaway
My husband & I brought our 16 yr old son for a family vacation….the cabin was very cozy and welcoming, in a quiet, wooded area with other cabins, but landscape allowed for privacy without feeling of total seclusion. The location was within easy driving distance to larger cities with major attractions, and close to smaller towns with local attractions and sights. It was perfect!
