Nice cabin, down a very long dirt road. Overall, very pleasant. One downside, they do seem to have a unwanted guest, heard him both nights, guessing he a mouse that is making his home inside the wall for winter.

Beautiful primitive cabin in the most picturesque setting. We went with 3 kids 6 and under and had a blast playing in the stream, watching deer and fish, hunting for snakes and kayaking at tropic reservoir.
