10/10 Excellent
"Cabin is very small but all you need to be comfortable. The other two cabins were unoccupied so we felt like we were on the mountain alone. Total darkness at night. Zero light pollution. Very relaxing weekend. A huge thank you to Kent,our host. There was a black towel in the bathroom with makeup embroidered on it. I have stayed in quite a few rentals and 10 out of 10 all have had practically brand new white towels in the bathroom which was a little stressful. So thank you Kent!"
