"The location is fantastic! However, the interior photos on the website didn’t quite capture the cabin’s true character, as the sofa is old and dirty, cabin seemed a bit worn and dusty. Also, the cabin doesn’t have air conditioning, so it can get quite warm in the summer. I should have done a more thorough inspection before booking. Despite that, we had a wonderful time in the cabin. Thanks!"

The property is beautiful as a and everything we needed was available to us. The most enjoyable part of the property was the large living room and open kitchen concept.

"Awesome place with a good breakfast on the veranda and good conversations! From the guest parking, turn left to enter. The checkin area had a self service area to make coffee. Liked the room that had AC, heating, a fireplace, and a guest book for visitors to write messages. Fast Wo-Fi. Did not have enough time to explore the living room with a piano and a guitar, veranda, or garden area. Minor issues: narrow staircases and the room AC occasionally smelled moldy"
