10/10 Excellent
"This cabin and property were beautiful! It was so peaceful and nice and private! We enjoyed the hot tub, and the beds were so comfortable! We saw wildlife and felt like we were alone in the woods! There were just a few things missing. There weren't any hooks for our wet swimsuits and towels. The firewood wasn't covered so it got wet in the rain, preventing us from being able to start a fire. There weren't any scissors and Kleenex. Just a few little things missing. Other than that, the hosts were awesome at getting back to us on things. We will definitely be back!"
