The cabin was well taken care of and beautiful. The kids enjoyed the bunk beds in the basement. The walk in shower with a seat was perfect for my elderly father. We enjoyed the big round kitchen table with ample chairs for the whole family. The kitchen was well equipped with enough pots & pans to cook with. There were plenty of towels for everyone. We also loved that it was clean and bug free. Our stay in this cabin was wonderful.
