Property was as stated. Loved everything in the cabin. We spent quite a bit of our meals at the cabin. There was anything and everything one needs to prepare meals. Kids loved loft area with arcade and games. Adults loved playing pool. Parking was a challenge with the slant but we managed just fine. April and Dave were quick to respond to our questions and/or concerns. Great trip Highly recommend.
