Apr 9, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family Trip We enjoyed our stay, the cabin was clean and the hot tub was amazing! We just wished (as we like to all hang together and cook) that there was a TV on the main floor so the kids and adults could all hang together. We also noticed after the fact that the floor that you drive up to was the basement. So if we were to come with older adults, we’d keep that in mind because it’s a lot of stairs to get to the master/2nd floor bdrm. All in all, we had a very nice time and our youngest became a checkers wiz after playing dozens of rounds while we were all together on the main floor. ##### Erin M.
