She made sure I checked in ok and gave me a list of recommendations of places to eat. I definitely plan on staying here again. ##### Dennis L. Stayed 4 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Bryn C. 16 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy #### Nice getaway Overall good experience. The cabin is new clean and very modern. We all loved the bathroom and large shower. Peaceful remote location is what I was looking for. Complete with a white squirrel. Check in was a little confusing but another guest at the property gave us a number to call for a code. Wi-Fi was a little iffy and made it hard to watch TV. My only complaint is the insurance I had to buy has been a constant spam attack. ##### Bryn C.
