    Cozy, lots of decorations. I would suggest hooks for coats, living room bedrooms. Left two board games, found none when arrived. Other than that you shroud be good to go.

    Quick stay overnight with family, but worked out perfectly. Only feedback would be there were no ice trays to make ice. That would have been nice. Otherwise, great location for hiking and getting away from simmer heat.

    Perfect little getaway cabin and just what we had hoped for. The place was quite clean and comfy and the staff were great to work with. Only things we were looking for that could've made it slightly better would be a newer smart TV so we could watch our Netflix, Hulu, etc...and maybe some board or card games. We're already looking forward to our next visit!
