Our time here has been delightful, and we felt a sense of sadness when it was time to depart. The cabin was immaculate, easy to navigate, and beautifully decorated. The new hot tub is more convenient for a single user than the traditional model, which requires two people to uncover and cover. The host family checked in on us and made sure we had everything we needed, and directed us to links and sites that would be helpful during our stay. This cabin is definitely one we would suggest to our friends and family.
