We arrived on 12/23/25 for a 4 night stay, with a family of 5 (kids 11,12,16) and our dog. When we walked in we were pleasantly surprised with the Christmas decorations!! The cabin was very clean, and welcoming. Everything was as pictured, which is rare! Beds were memory foam, and pillows were cozy! The cabin had everything we needed! We would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting the area, and would absolutely stay here again!
