Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the cabin and found everything you needed for a relaxing getaway. We’d love to welcome you back for another peaceful escape in the woods!
Super clean tiny house, the best shower head I have used in years, shady outdoor space with picnic tables. No stove but a hot plate to use. Beautiful decor. Great communication. I really enjoyed our stay.
