Relaxing peaceful getaway
This was a great place to spend a couple of days relaxing on our halfway point of a 14 hour drive.
Very roomy cabin with full kitchen made it feel like home. Very quiet and peaceful surroundings. Close to a State Park where we could hike and picnic. The owner left us a welcoming note.
