I was looking for something clean and in a safe location. This cabin provided that along with added comforts to make us feel like we were at home. With triple digit temperatures, the AC was able to keep up and keep us comfortable.

I loved this place!! It was so charming and comfortable and clean. Marilynn was so helpful and responded to my questions very quickly. There was everything I needed to enjoy my 2 day get away and the peace and quiet was very welcome. The restaurant is just a few steps away that serves fantastic fish. I must add that I loved the shower!!
