Adorable cabin
The decor in the cabin had this great retro vibe, that is fun and their was plenty of furniture and seating areas to allow my family to spread out. I don’t think I’ve stayed at a more well stocked rental before, with pots, pans, utensils and even extra shampoo and toothpaste in case we forgot anything. The hosts thought of everything! The views were nice and peaceful, over all it is lovely place to spend a long holiday weekend.
Such a peaceful stay …
The house is a perfect stay for the Minimalist with a Nostalgic flavor for the GenX’ers…..
Love the care and attention to detail.
The owner is easy to get ahold of and very friendly… Great integerty :-)

Adorable place to stay
The A frame cabin has been renovated to a mid century vibe which was really adorable. I think it was one of the best stocked places we’ve ever rented. Literally everything you might need was already in the pantry for the taking. We were very comfortable there and would definitely stay again.
