Train ride

We went on a train ride and just needed a place to lay our head at night. We did enjoy a fire both nights and the jacuzzi also. The place was easy to find and a nice little cabin.

Just what we needed

We wanted a get-away that was truly restful - get away from it all and spend quality time with each other. This was the perfect location for us to do as much or as little as we wanted. Check in was easy and the property was clean and impeccably maintained.
