Cozy Classic Cabin
I had a wonderful stay in the Ty-Tanderwen cabin. It was very clean, which I know from experience is difficult when working with older, rustic materials. The screened porch was a great spot to watch the wildlife. The cabin appearance was rustic, but it had all the comforts I needed for the weekend.

Mouse Nests
The cabin was nice and the beds were comfortable, but the bathroom walls had old mouse nests that smelled like mouse urine. They are clearly visible in the walls. They need to be cleaned out and sanitized.

Unplugged getaway
This place was so beautiful the pictures don’t do it justice. Phone service is not very good so it is a perfect place for an unplugged getaway! We will definitely be back. We are convinced this place will be absolutely Gorgeous in the fall! The host was awesome and very helpful! If I could give it more than 5 stars I would!
