We were immediately greeted by a cat named Friendly, who turns out the property is named after. The cabin is very cozy and had everything we needed. Very hospitable owners and would recommend to anyone trying to get away for a peaceful and secluded weekend.

The cabin had everything I needed for my stay. The bed sheets were clean. It had a convenient bathroom with toilet and hot shower. There was also a kitchenette with fridge, microwave, coffee pot, dishes, and sink. The best part was the TV with streaming channels and wifi. Thanks for a nice stay.
