Unexpected in a good way. Cabin was very comfortable, clean, and large. A great place for free spirited travellers to get away. The best part was the wonderful hospitality from the owner. I would gladly return to the Possum Lodge.

Quirky but cute
We really enjoyed our stay here but the layout is definitely different. It is not for people with mobility issues but otherwise it is great.
