The cabin was amazing. Spacious, comfortable, and conveniently close to everything. My family spent a 4 day weekend enjoying the summer weather by the lake. There's plenty to do if you're an outdoors person. Hiking nearby, the lake is within walking distance, and the cabin itself has a game room, pool table and jacuzzi. The kids had a blast. Toddlers and teens. This cabin had it all and we would definitely donthis again!
