Fireplace nor hot tub were working and we were not notified that either were not functioning prior to booking/arrival. House was also below par on cleanliness.
We enjoyed our time at this location! Quiet and peaceful location. We did encounter 3 big spiders, but for being out of town, I’m sure it’s to be expected. Would stay here again!
Had a great time. Cabin was plenty big enough and the outdoors was amazing. Loved seeing the animals in the morning!

I loved staying in this cabin, I will definitely come back. It is in an excellent location, a very quiet area, you can really rest and it is very comfortable for family time. Maybe it need to update some things in the kitchen and entertainment area, but even so, it was magical to stay here. Excellent attention from the manager. I really liked the cabin and the place where it is located.
We enjoyed our stay here. Would recommend bringing your own skillets if you like cooking.
