The cabin was nice. The location was more residential than cabin area feel. The cabin wasn't true to the pictures but it had a good vibe. It was clean, cozy, the host was kind and patient. If you're just looking for a great family oriented stay, this is a great place to book. If you looking for things to do outside of the cabin, I'm not sure what's avaliable.
