It was such an adorable cabin and was perfect for a quiet winter getaway. The only downside and i mean *ONLY* is the lack of hooks to dry towels. After using the hot tub and showering, we had towels hanging everywhere inside because it was 12 degrees out and would freeze if we tried to hang them outside. Otherwise it had all the basic amenities you could need for a relaxing stay.
