My family of five rented this cabin for 4 days during the summer. We were very comfortable during our stay. The beds and pillows were new and comfortable and my daughter slept on the futon in the living room and said it was nice. The kitchen had all of the necessities to cook in. Paper products were provided which was a nice touch and the host even had snacks for us when we arrived. Overall we enjoyed our time here and would rent again. ##### Stacey R.
