Cabin was clean. We had trouble to access at gate, we contact host by email and text messages and got an inmediate response.
The cabin was in the best location. There was enough room for all 13 of us. The rockers on the porch is just what we needed to enjoy our early morning coffee.
This is a great house with enough room for a large group. Giving it 4 stars because the pull out couches are very uncomfortable and were not premade. Lots of game options and great hot tub.
