"Loved the location, the property is well maintained, the cabin charming. We stayed with another family. I think next time we would stay alone because it was too small for 8 ppl and the kitchenette wasn’t really big enough to make cooking-in easy. The kids loved the loft! The AC worked great and the shared patio/BBQ area was great!"
