Very cute and comfortable cabin. Everything we needed. Did have trouble with the shower draining. Contacted management and they came out and remedied. I would stay again.
This cabin is nicely updated and furnished. It was the perfect size for a couple or a small family. It was easy to access and close to everything we wanted to do in Alexandria. The only downside was that it is definitely a summer cabin that has been retrofitted with a furnace. It gets cold quickly when the furnace isn't running, and the furnace is very loud in the bedrooms when it does kick on.
