We had a great weekend at the cabin. There was 10 of us and there was enough room for us to all have our own space. Loved that we’re right on the creek. The driveway was a little hard to navigate but we managed with 3 vehicles. The driveway is steep and narrow. I would recommend a couple more dish towels in the kitchen. We only had one drying dish towel and sponge to do the dishes. I just prefer more. Unfortunately, it rained the whole weekend so we didn’t get to enjoy the fire pits or seating outside. They have an awesome set up outside with lots of chairs. We definitely will be back!
Nothing negative to say. Left the place clean and tidy and was respectful throughout the stay. Would recommend to any hostPosted: 2/17/2025
