The cabin was okay. Did not have a closet to hang clothes. Had a loft ladder right in the middle of cabin, so you had to walk around it. It was small even for 2 people.
This was an awesome experience! It was a clean cabin with everything we needed for our stay. It was in a great location with lots to do close by! The process of booking and checking into the cabin was easy! We will definitely be back! Thank you!
Kind of like a tiny home experience so was perfect for my wife and our 2 Small kids. It poured down rain and it’s super loud when it does but we loved it.
