Aug 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful Cabin stay We spent two nights at the cabin and it’s a beautiful location right on the water. The cabin is well decorated and clean. The AC, and washer/dryer were a plus, and our host had some wood set aside for us. The grass/gravel road to access the cabin is difficult to navigate at night but the cabin is secluded from other houses or cabin.Overall recommend this cabin! ##### Margaret M.
