Thanks a million, Lauren! We’re so glad you loved the house — and yes, bathrooms in every bedroom = no waiting in line 🙌. Perfect for keeping the peace on vacation! We’d love to have you back anytime. –Jodi & Steve
The cabin was actually more spacious than the photos and floor plan show in the listing, so that was a nice surprise when we arrived. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook multiple nights for a party of eight.
