Chris's Cabin is awesome. The fire is amazing. The beds are comfortable. The bath is a bonus and good pressure in shower. Sky Sport was an unexpected plus. Not pretentious. Didnt feel like you had to tiptoe around the place. Just a solid, clean, private house. Recommend.

The house is big, hidden in the trees with a nice sunny deck. It’s exceptionally quiet and there wasn’t a thing we couldn’t find in the kitchen for cooking. Thank you for letting us stay and especially for letting our four legged angel stay.
