Welcoming, homey cabin with everything we needed and more. Tidy property with a nice picnic table and deck, fire ring, and firewood. The kitchen was well appointed, and the bathroom was clean. Every window had blinds, and they all worked! A few references were on hand to provide us with ideas for day trips and good meals. No overbearing rulebooks, and the WiFi password was in plain sight. There are curtains, not doors, providing privacy in the bedrooms. This was not a problem for us and added to the charm. We hope to visit again soon! ##### Danielle W.
