Mini Getaway

We had a great everything was amazing like always. The one thing I would have love if the cabin was cleaned the bath tub was pretty dirty and had to clean it before taking a shower. Dishes and coffee pot were dirty as well. But besides that everything was amazing. We will for sure be coming back again!
