    Perfect Quiet Cabin

    Property was just as described. The cabin was clean and very well stocked and organized. Bathrroom had towels, soaps, and paper. Kitchen had everything one would need to cook. Two TVs had internet and plenty of channels. Crazy Joe's is an absolute must to eat at.

    It was a great place to unwind and have a fire. There was ample amounts of wood. It was peaceful and relaxing. Exactly what I wanted for the weekend. The cabin was really cool. It smelled like wood. It has a front porch to sit on which I loved. The restaurant next door is really good too. It's very close to kinkaid and the Shawnee national Forest so if I wanted to there was plenty to do. But I wanted to chill and this was perfect.
