My husband and I spent three nights at this beautiful cabin! It is in a lovely location with trees and bluffs behind. Has everything you need to have a quiet retreat in Nature. Up a short hill, there’s a fire pit and chairs to allow star gazing away from the yard light. We opted to use the futon bed on the first floor which was very comfortable. Took a minute to figure out the bathroom lock - quick call to the host is all it took as I was over thinking it. Lovely hosts, beautiful scenery, very clean with everything one needs to be far from the madding crowd! ##### Monica J.
