We had a great time; the cabin was really just like the photos. My only comments are that the grill outside is a little rusty and the drive through the complex to the cabin is a bit steep...but we loved playing the old style arcade games!

Water heater was way too small for the tubs would run out of hot water about quarter way of full. Certainly not enough capacity for bot tubs if wasn’t enough for one

We had a blast! The cabin was more cozy than expected, beds were really comfortable, and kitchen had everything a cooker wish for. The jacuzzi was already warm up and ready to relax.Internet can fail during bad weather, but they had DVD player/ movies, books and family friendly games to enjoy, or can enjoy arkades and pool table too. Extra towels and linens were provided. Would definitely come back!
