10/10 Excellent
"Perfect little cabin tucked up into the woods! It was quiet, the stars were so bright, and we saw lots of wildlife! The drive reminded us of driving through a national park with all the animals, scenery and hiking trails. I wanted something out of town and secluded and this place was perfect, and safe, with its gated entry. Would definitely love to stay again! Host was great with communication and they even left some dog treats for my Bichon. So thoughtful! Kitchen has everything you need and the beds were so comfy!"
