The cabin was spotless when we arrived, and the beds were very comfortable. The views were absolutely stunning, and the kitchen had all the essentials we needed. The hosts were quick to respond to any questions, which made our stay even smoother. The only things we’d change would be having a wood-burning fire pit instead of a gas one, and a heads-up that the cabin uses well water—it’s perfectly fine, just something to be aware of if you’re not used to it.
