Perfect for a weekend of hiking

Very clean and convenient for hiking. Pet friendly was a big draw for me as we enjoy traveling with our Shetland Sheepdog.

Anniversary Getaway

We stayed here for a long weekend and it was great and exactly what we were looking for. We have already talked about possibly renting a few to have some family members come with us.
