The cabin was perfect - great location, great beds, easy parking, wonderful contact with Mae, and you could see that a lot of time and thought had gone into picking all of the special decor, great appliances, and as I said - best beds! This is like a getaway heaven! Definitely one of the nicest cottages I've ever stayed in

The property was very cool with all the memorabilia, incredibly clean. The 2 bedrooms were very tiny couldnt put luggage in and the bathroom very small but clean but I must say the shower was quite challenging being so small. The town was quite small and with nothing around but gives you a very quiet and relaxing ambiance.

Cabin was a great alternative than the hotels - afforded additional space both inside and outside of the cabin for the kids to enjoy. The cabin and area is spectacular - right beside the river! Would have liked to have had access to wash machine/dryer but we were able to air things out on the deck between games.

You are more than welcome to return anytime!! I am so sorry about the washer and dryer, but there isn’t room for those on site. We take the laundry elsewhere. You were absolutely perfect guests!
