Good but wrong master suite
Good kitchen, well working fire place, and nice patio.
Master bedroom has a second room with a bed and matresses to have many people be able to sleep, but it cannot be a MASTER BEDROOM.
Like the dining room with big windows.

Great neighborhood
Great location, only wish it had patio furniture and there was no grill. The floors were very sticky and not very clean. Everything else was good.

Great Family Home
Our family of 3 couples and 2 children had a wonderful time at this beautiful cabin. A spectacular separate dining room and the livingroom to sit by the fire separate from the TV area worked great. One bedroom downstairs with the master bedroom upstairs with the small "room" for kids. Everyone was comfortable with heat upstairs and down. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked. We would definitely stay there again
