We only stayed one night; had a wedding in the area. It was a cute little cabin! Clean, furnished with all the essentials. Quiet countryside with a lake view. I’d definitely stay again when we had some time to enjoy the cabin/land.

Cute cabin, itchy bed and furniture!

Overall it is an adorable little cabin in a great location, but I do not know what is in there that makes you itch like crazy! We left a night early because we were unable to sleep anywhere without feeling like bugs were crawling all over us.

I am sorry this happened! I searched the cabin and did not see anything and have not had anyone else say this. I apologize for it though.
