We really enjoyed the cabin. There was plenty of space to spread out and hang out together. The kids really enjoyed playing the arcade games. The area is beautiful as well, quiet and peaceful. The ducks and turkeys were fun to watch. The hosts were excellent. At one point a tree fell from a storm and they moved it very quickly. We had a great time

Quiet clean little cabin. Super comfy. Far enough away from any roads we didn't have to worry about noise. Handled 4 guests easily but could probably handle double that considering the basement we didn't even use. Highly recommend

Property was a great alternative to a hotel, very private. Comfortable beds. We did not use the kitchen at all due to length of stay, but looked like it contained all the basics.
