Not too far from Ferne Clyffe, which was where we wanted to go. Nice size kitchen and bathroom, with good water pressure. Good WiFi. Cabin could have been cleaner. Loft was dusty with a dirty Kleenex on the floor. We had to wash the dishes before we used them. Back deck smelled strongly of mildew, so we couldn’t sit out there. ##### Linda O.

Although it wasn’t fairly big, it contained most of the necessary amenities we needed. The view at the fire pit was excellent as the sun set. There were many insects inside, but it didn’t really bother us. We cooked a lot so a dishwasher would be very helpful. The water of the shower head was extremely small and it took us lots of time to finish the shower. Overall we enjoyed our stay and we hope this review will help. ##### Peter l.

Has a nice pond area with swimming activities and fishing. Cabins are somewhat close but they have good tall privacy fences between them. Great outdoor seating. Clean inside and out. ##### Devin S.
