Beautiful cabin
The cabin was beautiful- obviously recently renovated. Owners made it perfect right down to the details. It was conveniently located near West End beach which is great for kids. It was on the high end as fas as price, but you get what you pay for. We had a lovely time and would definitely choose it again.
