These cottages are the perfect size for 2 people. The shower is nice and has Hot water. Sitting on the porch is relaxing. The train might be an issue for some people but didn't bother us at all. The trails in back are nice. We loved it and are already planing to come back in June.

Great place to stay and close to the Ark. The space is small but was all we needed. The little porch was nice to be able to sit out on and relax. Also we appreciated the Kurig coffee pot. The train as mentioned is loud but other than that it is quiet. It didn’t bother us. We truly enjoyed our stay there. Would definitely stay again.

We loved this cute cabin! It had everything we needed and the price could not be beat. Everything was perfect! We are so thankful to the hosts who worked with us after we realized we booked our room on the wrong date. Oops! They responded, despite the late hour, and made sure we had a place to stay. We highly recommend a stay in this beautiful cabin!
