We had a very good time. Great cabin, great location. Please with everything except the coffee pot. We couldn't get the pot side to work and didn't care for the flavors on the cup side. This is our 3rd time renting this cabin and will rent again. Thank you for having us!

Apologies for the inconvenience with the coffee maker, our housekeeping and maintenance team will carefully inspect it to repair or replace the pot side and also review the pod and flavor selections.
