Cozy cabin

We had rain and gray skies the whole time, so we spent our time in the cabin. Pretty much every VRBO we’ve ever stayed in (which is a lot) had that grimy, nobody’s been here feeling but not this cabin. It lived up to all the reviews about cleanliness and well stocked. It’s CLEAN and comfy! We didn’t really mind being stuck inside so much. We did enjoy the fire pit one day. I wish we could have used it more. There are a TON of DVDs available to watch and having Netflix, Hulu, Max etc available was great too. The new oven was much appreciated too. Thanks for sharing your cabin!!!
