We had a great stay at the Station. The bedrooms are convent and on independent heaters so you can be cool or warm. The kitchen is wonderful - everything you need for a great meal! The only problem was the outside lights did not work, so it was hard to navigate the stairs at night.

We have stayed at the cabin many times and absolutely love it. It is time for new furniture or they need a good cleaning. The shower curtains need replacing.

Better directions or signs are definitely needed. The basement spells moldy due to the water leak. We had to clean the cabin when we got there. There was no firewood but luckily we brought our own.
