The cabin is very secluded! The road to get there is dangerous unpaved and narrow. We had to swerve onto the side of the road because we encountered a couple local teenagers in cars and atv's, doing well over 50mph so stay alert! The beds and rooms were clean and comfortable. The cookware was very worn all the nonstick was chipped and showing metal and should be replaced, only 1 small 8" sauce pan and 1 8"stainless stock pot is all we felt comfortable using because of the poor condition . Check-in was 4 PM. We arrived early 3:30p.m and the owner was still getting the inside ready. We had to wait, outside with her jumping and bitting dog.. after a 5hr drive. If you rent it plan accordingly and dont arrive 30min early

It was a wonderful and relaxing experience. The hosts were awesome and helpful. The cabin was clean with a lovely veiw off the porch. My favorite part was the hot tub!

Beautiful view and very peaceful. Plenty of space indoors and out if you have yard games. We enjoyed the hot tub and having s'mores around the fire. The home was lovely and comfortable. Loads of activities close by for family fun. We are so grateful for being able to stay in this beautiful home!!
