My wife and I, along with our 13lb Shorkie, spent our 23rd anniversary here. As advertised, the house was cozy, extremely well-outfitted for little things you might forget, and pet-friendly. The hosts were certainly not responsible for the rainy weather which made the cozy cabin that much more pleasant for our stay. The Weilands are great hosts and communication with them was prompt and on point.
