We spent Christmas vacation there and of the 7 day stay there were only 2 that we stayed actually at the cabin all day. The cabin is very pet friendly, our Yorkie goes where we go. The days spent in, we enjoyed the games available and TV for Christmas movies with the grandkids. Clear instructions posted on the fridge and states any problems the host can be there very quickly to help out. Within 10 minutes from downtown South Fork. We would definitely stay there again.
