This cabin is tastefully furnished with hardwood floors and cabin accessories. Very nice sunny living room and kitchen... fully furnished, two natural gas fireplaces to keep you cozy (just turn them on with the switch on the wall)...FULL kitchen equiped for large groups, VERY nice (new in 2010) Gas ( propane provided) "Weber Genesis series" (with side burner for spagetti, soups, etc.) BBQ grill, complete high capacity laundry room (soap included), wireless internet and free telephone calls within the Continental USA and Canada.
We continue to remodel and update the features each year.

Well behaved dogs welcome!

Feel secure with your own private combination to the front door lock (no keys)...so your entire group can easily get into the house!
