Perfect
The property was perfect for us. The cabins are closer to each other than the look in the pictures. However no one bothered us. Very private! The only thing I didn't like was the multiple reminders of check out. And of course the ladybugs. But there is no ng

Birthday Romantic Getaway
My boyfriend and I decided to take a trip for my 25th birthday. This cabin was everything we were looking for, the location was amazing literally SOOOO close to some great hiking. And don't get me started on the hot tub (such a relief after hiking all day). My boyfriend also wants everyone to know the mattress was VERY comfortable, I second this 😊 Overall great experience and would definitely recommend
