Stayed 1 night in Jun 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Ronnie L. Feb 8, 2019 #### The property was cute and well maintained. The property was cute, well maintained, and provided all the amenities. One thing which I don't think I realized was how small the cabin was. For 3 adults traveling for 14 days the addition of 3 suitcases and travel bags took up a lot of room and made it rather uncomfortable. My error entirely. So if you are a backpacker or feel comfortable leaving your bags in the car this is a fun place to stay. ##### Ronnie L.
