This is a great cabin in a fun area of Washington. We stayed in the same cabin last year and it was the perfect place to come back to after hiking in the area. This year was too hot for hiking so we spent a lot of time on the Stevenson waterfront, and it was so nice to come "home" to the cool, clean cabin. It has everything we need for a fun getaway. The welcome goodies were very appreciated. And Backwoods Brewing was even better than last year. We hope to stay in this cabin again.
