Oct 17, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Peaceful weekend getaway My sister and I stayed for two nights. The cabin was exactly as advertised, very welcoming and comfortable. We had a fire one night and used the hot tub the next! We spent one day exploring and were close to many of the places we wanted to visit. One unique aspect was the book in the cabin that others who stayed, wrote in. It was helpful to guide our day of hiking. We will be BACK! If I had to complain, it went by too fast. ##### Rebecca P. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cathilynne F.
