Everything was exactly as advertised. Hosts were extremely helpful and definitely went above and beyond when we had some vehicle issues. Location is great for any kind of trails you’re looking for, can hop right on the trails from the cabin and go any direction. Would definitely recommend and would definitely return if we come back to the area!
