Comfortable cabin, great location

The cabin we rented fit our needs perfectly (almost). After realizing that there was no stove/oven in the cabin, the manager and employees were very accommodating, and immediately furnished us with everything we needed to prepare our food at the barbeque station, and dine in our cabin. It actually turned out better than having a stove/oven. So, our needs were perfectly fulfilled afterall. Thanks! We will be staying again, I'm sure!
