Check-in and check-out was very smooth and the host was very communicative. The cabin was the perfect size for two of us and our dog and we LOVED having the sauna on a chilly winter night. Flip flops and robes were provided for going out to the sauna, which was so thoughtful. The cabin itself was clean, tidy, and very nice! We will definitely be coming back in the future. ##### Lauren C.
