New Years Stay
Cozy, lots of decorations. I would suggest hooks for coats, living room bedrooms. Left two board games, found none when arrived. Other than that you shroud be good to go.

Perfect little cabin
Quick stay overnight with family, but worked out perfectly. Only feedback would be there were no ice trays to make ice. That would have been nice. Otherwise, great location for hiking and getting away from simmer heat.
