The cabin was easy to get to, get inside of, and was everything and more than we expected. There was a warmth felt by the host even without them there. Ample room for my friends and I to relax, have own our space, and enjoy nature. So many little things were thought of by the host and we were impressed. Communication with host was timely. The cabin was far enough away to enjoy nature, but the town (McGregor) was close enough for a supply run if needed. Truly can express how wonderful the weekend experience was.
