Overall, the hosts were communicative and accommodating. The listing is a bit misleading, as it did say 2 bedrooms, but there is just a sleeper futon in the living area and an upstairs bedroom loft. The listing should also say 1.5 baths since the upstairs one just has a toilet and sink. The road up the mountain is ROUGH if you're pregnant just a heads up for future passengers.
After we gound this cabin and parking it was great! Far enough from the main areas but close enough to a major grocery store. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely book here again. Thank you for a much needed tranquil stay.
