The cabin is beautiful and comfortable. There are mini splits in every room so it’s easy to regulate the temperature. The 3 levels create lots of individual space for everyone to do their own activities. Our kids had the most wonderful time playing outside in the woods all day long. The area is remote, so come prepared with all your supplies, but it is a fantastic place to spend a weekend away with family/friends.
